Together, we’re powerful!

There are 34.8m combined active memberships in co-operatives and mutuals in Australia, with a combined turnover of more than $163.3 billion.

Together, we’re powerful.

As Australians, we have the luxury of choosing where we shop, where we put our money and who we borrow from. Choosing a mutual, rather than the biggest, shiniest option, ensures the power stays in your hands.

Looking for banking services? Choose a mutual.

Grocery shopping? Look up and seek out the brands that are cooperatively owned.

For every mutual bank, every agricultural co-operative and every State’s roadside assist, the priority is people…or in the case of dairy – cows!

The 1,819 Australian businesses in this sector play a vital role in supporting those who are under-served by the current economic system where wealth is not equally distributed.
