Co-operatives Forum: Opportunities for Care Services

28 June 2018

With the NDIS disrupting the care market place, the role of co-operatives in the new world of consumer led care now provides key opportunities for this sector.

For those working in the disability services, health, or well-being sectors, this event was a unique opportunity to attend a forum presented by the state government, to examine the value creation potential of co-operatives. Participants also learnt about the successful care co-operatives in the UK and how they can work here in South Australia.

The forum featured keynote presentations from international experts in care co-operatives and social enterprise, Dr Guy Turnbull (UK), and CEO of the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals, Melina Morrison (Sydney).
The program included a showcase of the collaborative business models explored in the Growth Lab for Health, Ageing and Disability and presenters provided practical advice on how to design and run a co-operative here in Australia.
