SUMMARY:An Introduction to Co-operatives and Mutuals
DESCRIPTION:This unique program has been developed to provide foundational information about co-operatives and mutuals for your employees. \nDeveloped especially as an easy and affordable induction training for new employees\, this industry developed course is relevant for staff at all levels to ensure a consistent level of knowledge across the co-operative and mutual enterprise (CME) sector. \nIt is designed to ensure CME employers can provide an introductory overview of the business model and the CME sector to new and existing staff. \nThe key objective is to educate and to inspire people working in the sector to understand more about the unique role and contribution of co-operatives and mutuals to help them in their role in their CME\, whether frontline staff\, management or directors. It will help build a meaningful connection between the employee and the wider CME sector\, as well strengthening the relationship with their individual employer. \nThis is achieved through a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles which underpin CMEs as businesses that put purpose\, people\, and communities at the heart of the enterprise. \nIt is delivered in a live and interactive webinar structure with a unique live Q&A with a sector leader. Knowledge is delivered in a fun and accessible format. \nBy undertaking the course\, your employees will learn: \n\nAbout the co-operative and mutual business model and how it is different to other kinds of business structures.\nAbout the purpose of co-ops and mutuals and how they are structured to benefit members.\nSome real examples of co-ops and mutuals through case studies.\nHow co-ops and mutuals and started here and around the world\, and\,\nWhy working for a co-op or mutual matters – in a live conversation with a senior co-op or mutual business leader.\n\nLearning outcomes\nUpon completing the course attendees will be able to demonstrate their understanding of: \n\nThe size\, scale and impact of the co-op and mutual sector in Australia.\nThe unique nature and fundamental concepts of co-operative and mutual businesses.\nSimilarities and differences from other business models including shareholder owned businesses.\nThe origins and development of co-operatives and mutuals in Australia and overseas (including mutual ADIs\, Friendly Societies\, agricultural and retail co-ops).\nThe seven global co-operative principles and the three mutual values.\nWhy co-operatives and mutuals matter to a sustainable economy and society.\n\nGuest speaker – Mark Worthington\, CEO\, Australian Mutual Bank\n \nMark Worthington is the CEO of Australian Mutual Bank.

SUMMARY:Reset: A New Public Agenda for the Arts – conference
DESCRIPTION:BCCM CEO Melina Morrison is speaking in an in-conversation panel on A Fair Deal for Artists: winning the economic rights of cultural workers on Friday\, 12 November. \nThere’s no doubt that the arts and cultural sector is facing a crisis in Australia. After years of cuts\, the gig economy\, undermining of the public and democratic value of the arts\, and the ever-widening gap between haves and have-nots\, the sector has been slammed by the pandemic\, with long-term consequences set to last years. \nThe way out of this mess cannot be incremental tinkering\, but rather a transformative reset of policy and advocacy – a bold new public agenda for the arts. \nHow do we return arts and culture to their rightful place in public policy? What would public reconstruction of the arts look like? How could we create a fairer deal for artists and arts workers? What kind of new ‘policy imaginary’ can place arts and culture at the heart of a healthy\, diverse\, inclusive\, and participatory democracy? \nReset: A New Public Agenda for the Arts offers two days and nights of thinking and discussion about how the arts and cultural sector could work to break out of the current impasse through a radical reorganisation of cultural practice and policy. \nPresented by: Arts Industry Council of South Australia and Reset (Flinders University\, University of Adelaide\, and University of South Australia)\, in association with the Don Dunstan Foundation. \nThe conference takes place online and in-person in Melbourne.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Co-op registry management - for member engagement and investment-readiness
DESCRIPTION:Invitation only – BCCM member webinar \nA one hour webinar covering: \n\nThe role of digital registry management in engaging members and raising and managing capital in co-ops\nCase studies from the Co-operative Farming pilot project and NZ co-ops.\n\nJoin experienced share registry provider Syndex and the BCCM for the launch of a new partnership aimed at supporting Australian CMEs member and share registry functions. \nDetail\nCo-ops and mutuals are increasingly large and complex organisations and require professional member reporting\, communications\, managing member registries and rebate/dividend distribution processes to engage and retain members. In addition\, relying on paper-based administrative systems can be a barrier to liquidity in member investments and to raising new capital by way of shares\, debentures or Co-operative Capital Units (CCUs). \nThrough the Co-operative Farming program\, BCCM worked with software provider Syndex to pilot a registry solution that helps to take the ‘admin pain point’ away from the running of Australian agricultural co-operatives and pave the way for full utilisation of co-op securities. Syndex have worked with co-ops in New Zealand for a number of years and were able to tailor their offering to the Australian co-op context of Co-operatives National Law. Syndex is now pleased to bring a range of co-op informed digital registry solutions to the Australian CME sector. \nThere will be time for Q&A with Kate Hage and Jamie Hall from Syndex. \nPlease email the BCCM to attend this member webinar.

SUMMARY:Social Care Community of Practice
DESCRIPTION:Invitation only \nThe next Social Care Community of Practice will be held on Thursday\, 14 October 2021\, 4pm-5.30pm AEST. \n\n\nPlease email Nicole Vlakic to apply to join the Social Care Community of Practice. \n\n\nProgram\n\nWelcome and introductions\nMelina Morrison\, CEO\, BCCM\nCase study – Supporting Independent Living Co-operative (SILC)\nSteve Anthony OAM\, Founder and CEO\, SILC\nApproaching Social Care with a different mindset\nCliff Mills\, a UK expert in co-operative design and Robert Fitzgerald AM\, Commissioner\, Ageing & Disability Commission\nFollow up actions from the Roundtable – Q&A and discussion\nGillian McFee\, Advisor Social Care\, BCCM and Anna Booth\, Director\, CoSolve\nClose and outline of next CoP on 2 December 2021\nMelina Morrison\, CEO\, BCCM\n\nSpeakers\n \nMelina Morrison\, CEO\, Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals (BCCM) \nMelina Morrison is the inaugural CEO of the BCCM and was a driving force behind the establishment of the Council in 2013. \nMelina has since led the association to many historic achievements for Australian co-operatives and mutuals. Under Melina’s leadership\, the BCCM has achieved fundamental reforms to level the playing field for member-owned firms and to encourage greater diversity of ownership particularly in sectors like aged care. She has created greater awareness of co-ops and mutuals and successfully advocated for and driven legislative and regulatory changes to improve the operating landscape for co-ops and mutuals. \nMelina has cultivated valuable national and international connections especially through the International Co-operative Alliance. In 2018\, Melina arranged a UK Mutuals Study Tour providing the opportunity for Australian social care leaders to learn about new forms of co-operatives including very successful employee and multi-stakeholder co-operatives\, many in health and social care. \nA highlight of Melina’s advocacy for increasing different approaches to member ownership in social care sectors like aged care and disability services\, BCCM was invited by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to support and educate 100+ public servants who are allied health therapists\, establish Australia’s first employee-owned mutual to form from a public agency. \n  \n \nGillian McFee\, Adviser Social Care\, Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals (BCCM)  \nGillian is the author of BCCM’s paper on Action to Empower. \nAfter holding senior executive and non-executive roles in aged care and community services for governments and the not-for-profit sector\, Gillian immersed herself in understanding the co-operative and mutual business model at a time when she felt there was an opportunity to diversify the ownership structure of service providers to make way for new consumer directed and individualised funding programs. Gillian was instrumental in the formation of Kudos Services\, Australia’s first employee-owned mutual to form from a public agency and she advises CEHL Ltd\, Australia’s largest housing co-operative. \n  \n \nAnna Booth\, Partner\, CoSolve  \nAnna describes herself as a “multi-perspective workplace participant\,” with a career that has evolved from being in and around workplaces all her working life. Over many years\, Anna has been appointed to senior industrial relations positions including as Vice-President of the Australian Fair Work Commission and as a member and Vice-President on the ACTU Executive\, where she also served as Chair of the ACTU Women’s Committee. In early 2000\, with business partner\, Clive Thompson\, Anna co-founded CoSolve\, advising and facilitating interest- based mediation outcomes in workplaces across Australia. Anna has held non-executive board roles\, at times involving highly complex corporate governance issues\, including at the Commonwealth Bank and NRMA. A recurring theme of Anna’s career is fairly representing the interests of vulnerable people in workplaces and placing herself in roles that have enabled her to have lived experience about how the ownership of a corporation influences its workplace culture. \n  \n \nSteve Anthony OAM\, Founder and CEO\, Supporting Independent Living Co-operative (SILC) \nSteve was an executive with Citibank from 1982 till 1996 – initially as a foreign exchange dealer in Sydney and later as the Head of Investment Management in Tokyo and finally as Head of Financial Markets in Australia. \nHis formal education includes BEc (Hons) Sydney University 1974\, PGCE (Cambridge University) 1979 and SEP (Stanford University) 1990. He is the author of Foreign Exchange in Practice and a number of industry handbooks. \nSteve and Sue have a son\, Patrick\, who has autism. They were one of the founding families of a charity called Giant Steps that operates a school for children with autism in 1995. In 2015\, they established PaRA Co-operative to run a family governed home in which Patrick lives with two housemates who were part of the original 12 students at Giant Steps. SILC was established to help other groups of families establish co-operatives to similar homes. \nSince 1996 Steve has been self-employed an executive coach but his time is mainly spent as pro bono CEO of SILC. SILC is a cooperative of cooperatives that is an NDIS Service Provider of Supported Accommodation in 10 family governed homes in Sydney. \n  \n \nRobert Fitzgerald AM\, NSW Ageing and Disability Commissioner  \nRobert has been highly influential in the community services and disability sectors for many years including as a Commissioner with the Australian Productivity Commission\, Commissioner to the Royal Commission on Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse\, and Commissioner\, NSW Community and Disability Services. \nRobert wrote the foreword to BCCM’s paper on Action to Empower and served as a member of BCCM’s Mutuals Task Force. \n  \n \nCliff Mills\, Consultant\, Anthony Collins Solicitors (UK)  \nCliff Mills is a co-operative lawyer in the UK with 30 years’ experience advising co-operative\, mutual and member-based organisations on ownership\, governance and structure. He particularly works on innovation in the use of legal structures\, supporting the concept of enterprise for the common good rather than for private benefit. He is a recognised expert in UK co-operative law\, advises on modernising legislation\, and is currently the appointed UK expert for a joint European Commission and International Co-operative Alliance project to evaluate cooperative law around the world. \nCliff is a consultant with Anthony Collins Solicitors\, and Principle Associate at Mutuo\, the mutuals advocacy firm.
