The Co - operative Life Ltd.

The Co-operative Life is presented as an NDIS-registered disability and approved aged‑care provider operating across the Sydney metropolitan area and the New England regions of New South Wales. Established in 2013, the organisation emphasises person‑centred care and positions itself as Australia’s first disability and aged‑care provider structured as a staff‑owned co‑operative. The webpage highlights this governance model as enabling flexibility and innovation in service delivery and frames the co‑operative purpose as supporting both client wellbeing and sustainable, person‑centred employment for staff and members. Service offerings listed on the site cover a broad continuum relevant to co‑living and supported community models: NDIS Core Supports, Supported Independent Living (SIL), Short Term Accommodation (STA), Younger Onset Dementia supports, Aged Care – Support at Home, Supported Employment (including a café), and a range of self‑funded services. The organisation describes its approach to person‑centred care as placing clients at the centre of decisions about their lives while being supported by a dedicated team. A testimonial excerpt on the page highlights perceived staff dedication and “care above and beyond.” Access and intake are presented as straightforward: prospective clients or referrers can request a referral via the site or contact the organisation directly by phone or email. Primary contact details provided are phone 02 9698 7194, email info@lifecoop.com.au, and the Sydney head office address at 81–83 Campbell Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010. The site also references standard operational pages such as pricing, COVID‑19 updates, privacy policy and terms and conditions. The webpage includes statutory and community information: The Co‑operative Life displays its NDIS/aged‑care registration identifiers (NSWC31878) and ABN (71 192 478 796), and it includes an acknowledgment of Traditional Custodians and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. For organisations assessing suitability for co‑living partnerships or placement, the site foregrounds a staff‑owned governance structure, an emphasis on personalised supports across both disability and aged‑care streams, and multiple service modalities (SIL, STA, home support, and employment supports). Contact and referral mechanisms are explicitly provided for further enquiries or to initiate service access.
