SUMMARY:Can co-ops save a city? The Preston Story (Brisbane)
DESCRIPTION:A Co-operative Blueprint for Local Economic and Social Regeneration\nBrisbane Preston is a city and locality in the UK that has become an exemplar in developing new local strategies for economic and social regeneration famous. It is also one of the UK’s most economically deprived regions. \nThrough radically reforming how its anchor institutions procure services\, and the active promotion of local businesses – especially co-operatives – the City has engineered a major revival of local business activity. \nEminent UK based co-operative historian\, Tony Webster\, will deliver seminars about the Preston Model as part of his visit for the International Co-operative Alliance Research Conference hosted by University of Newcastle. We are fortunate to have someone close to the Preston experience to share his insights. \nThe Demos-PwC Good Growth for Cities Index 2018 named Preston as the UK’s most improved city for economic wellbeing. \n\nReduction in unemployment rate (6.5% in 2014 to 3.1% in 2017)\nRising skills amongst 16-24 year olds\nIn 2014 only 4% of services were procured in the city\, the figure is now 18% and rising.\nAnd the impact is being felt regionally with services procured from the wider county of Lancashire rising from 30% to 70%.\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to find out why local authorities in the UK are seeking to emulate the Preston blueprint as a unique strategy for local economic and social revival\, and what insights this model can offer the communities and economic development stakeholders in Queensland – one lecture only. \nA light lunch will be provided. \nEvent Details\nDate:        Tuesday 17 December \nTime:        10.30am – 12.30pm AEST \nVenue:      Fishburner’s Event Space\, Level 2\, 155 Queen Street\, Brisbane City\, QLD 4000 \nRSVP:        Register online \nSponsored by: \n \n  \nCatering by: \n   \nAbout Tony Webster\nTony is Professor in history at Northumbria University\, Newcastle\, UK. He is a business historian who has published widely on Asia and the co-operative movement.

The amendments include: \n\nIntroducing a definition of ‘mutual entity’ into the Corporations Act;\nAllowing the issue of Mutual Capital Instruments (MCIs) as a specialised capital instrument for mutual entities; and\nIntroducing a standard process of member approval to allow eligible mutual entities to amend their constitutions to allow the issue and operation of MCIs without causing a demutualisation or requiring special compliance measures.\n\nBCCM initiated this whole process and influenced the Federal Government to ultimately amend the Corporations Act in this way. \nBCCM is holding a series of briefing sessions across the country\, to provide an expert insight into the recent legislative changes that affect all Federally registered mutuals. \nWho should attend?\nThe events are designed for executives and non-executive directors of mutual firms from all industry sectors and will provide a unique opportunity to meet with members of the team who helped to design the legislation.  The briefing agenda is below. \nEvent Details\nDelegate fees & how to register\n$495 + GST BCCM members \n$650 + GST Non-BCCM members \nRegister for below for each individual event: \n\nPerth – Wednesday\, 20 November 2019\nSydney – Monday\, 25 November 2019\nMelbourne – Tuesday\, 26 November 2019\nBrisbane – Wednesday\, 27 November 2019\nAdelaide – Thursday\, 28 November 2019\n\nAgenda\n10.00 – 10.20 am: What are Mutual Capital Instruments? (20 mins) \nMCIs are a new permanent capital instrument that can only be issued by eligible mutual entities. We will describe the features of MCI\, why they have been created and the context of the newly established government support for improving the business environment for the mutual sector. \n10.20 – 10.40 am: Why prepare to issue MCI and what would you use it for? (20 mins) \nIssuing new capital will be a new direction for mutual firms. We will discuss the rationale for raising capital in this way and the potential use that firms will put it to. \n10.40 – 11.00 am: International examples of mutual capital (20 mins) \nCo-operatives and mutuals across the world raise additional capital in a variety of different ways. Some types of capital raised in Europe exhibit equity features and are available to institutional investors\, whilst others are raised directly from members. \nWe will give an insight into similar initiatives in the UK\, Canada and the Netherlands\, leading to the successful raising of new capital for mutual businesses. \n11.00 – 11.15 am: Coffee break & networking (15 mins) \n11.15 – 11.35 am: Explaining the legal changes – What do firms need to do? (20 mins) \nWe will outline the impact the law will have on individual constitutions\, what firms will need to do to prepare their constitutions to take advantage of these changes. \n11.35 – 11.55 am: Designing MCI (20 mins) \nThe legislation provides the framework for MCI\, but firms will need to design their own instruments.  We will outline the optional features that MCI may have\, in relation to voting\, distributions and surplus assets. \n11.55 am – 12.15 pm: The market for MCI (20 mins) \nWe will outline the likely markets for MCI\, the difference between wholesale and retail issuance\, and factors that firms should consider when deciding which path to take. \n12.15 – 12.30 pm: Open discussion (15 mins) \nDownload flyer

SUMMARY:Co-operatives National Law Seminar (3CPD Points)
DESCRIPTION:Due to popular demand\, together with BAL Lawyers\, we are re-running this seminar in Sydney. \nNot to be missed\, this seminar will answer commonly asked questions such as: \n\nWhat is CNL?\nWhat businesses does this legislation apply to?\nHow does it update previous State Acts?\n\nA half-day seminar for legal practitioners\, established co-operatives\, and groups looking to form co-operative businesses. \nThe Co-operatives National Law (CNL) is harmonised co-operatives legislation\, which has been progressively introduced by all states and territories except Queensland since 2012. \nAustralian co-operatives can now take advantage of streamlined administrative and reporting requirements and new fundraising options such as Co-operative Capital Units. \nPresented by BCCM Associate Member and experienced co-operative advisors BAL Lawyers\, this workshop will provide a practical and interactive ‘101’ overview of the CNL\, suitable for established co-operatives\, lawyers and business consultants\, and anyone with an interest in starting or converting to a co-operative. \nEmpower your co-operative or your co-operative clients to comply with and reap the benefits of the modernised CNL with this rare seminar. \nWe hope to see you there! \nTotal run time: 4 hours\, including morning tea and light lunch and time for questions and discussion. \nSuitable for: co-operative directors\, secretaries and managers; lawyers\, accountants and other professional business advisors; anyone with an interest in starting or converting to a co-operative. \nTopics include: \n\nOperating the co-operative: how to call and hold meetings\, making changes to the rules\, when special resolutions and special postal ballots are required\, appointing and removing directors\, and terminating membership;\nRoles and responsibilities of members and directors including directors duties\, and governance principles;\nCo-operative securities: shares\, debentures and Co-operative Capital Units (and how to offer them); and\nWinding up the co-operative: voluntary winding up or de-registration by members.\n\nCPD Points \nContinuing professional development (CPD) is a mandatory requirement for all legal practitioners.

Places limited.  \nProgram at a glance\nWelcome \nMelina Morrison\, CEO\, BCCM \nSession One: Operating a Co-operative \nKatie Innes\, BAL Lawyers \nThe first session will address the fundamentals for compliance in the operation of a co-operative. \nRegular meetings and adequate disclosure are fundamental to members and directors staying informed about the co-operative and the progress towards the co-operative’s goals. In this session you will learn how to call and hold meetings\, and the legislative requirements for holding meetings. The rules of the co-operative govern its operation so we will address what decisions of the co-operative require approval of a special resolution\, a postal ballot\, or a special postal ballot\, and how and when those changes will take effect. \nAll co-operative members must be active members\, but there are specific responsibilities imposed on directors for the day to day management of the co-operative so the appointment of the directors can be one of the most powerful decisions that members will make. We will look at the appointment and removal process for directors. \nWe will also look at the requirements for terminating membership\, particularly due to inactive or recalcitrant members and issues of liability. \nSession Two: Governance of the Co-operative \nMark Love\, BAL Lawyers \nThe second session will be focused on the rights and responsibilities of the members and the directors; both have a different yet equally important role to play in the ongoing governance of the co-operative. \nWe will look at the rights\, responsibilities and the liabilities of members\, including how and when they can vote\, what members must do to maintain their active membership\, and the financial risks that membership can bring. \nWe will also look at the role of the director\, the scope of directors duties under the Co-operatives National Law\, and their liability to and on behalf of the co-operative. \nWe will also discuss the application of the Co-operative and Mutual Enterprise Governance Principles recently published by the BCCM. \nSession Three: Raising Funds \nMark Love\, BAL Lawyers \nThe third session will be focused on fund raising mechanisms for the ongoing operation of the co-operative including the use of shares\, debentures\, and co-operative capital units. \nWe will look at the defining characteristics of each and when each one is appropriate for the co-operative. Critical in this will be interaction of the Co-operatives National Law and Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. We will also touch on the process for issuing co-operative securities and the rights and liabilities attaching to those\, as well as issues of “influence”. \nSession Four: Winding Up \nKatie Innes\, BAL Lawyers \nTo wind up the day we will address the process for winding up a co-operative. We will look at when the members can voluntarily wind up the co-operative and the process they must go through to do so. We will also look at the situations in which the Registrar can wind up the co-operative under the Co-operatives National Law. And finally\, issues of residual liability for membership. \nClosing Remarks \nMelina Morrison\, CEO\, BCCM

SUMMARY:The Co-operatives and Mutuals Strategic Development Program (CMSDP)
DESCRIPTION:The program will focus on the sustainability\, performance\, and resilience of co-operative and mutual organisations. \nThe Co-operatives and Mutuals Strategic Development Program (CMSDP) has been designed by Winthrop Professor Tim  Mazzarol and Dr Elena Limnios\, recognised experts in the field\, following extensive research into the needs of cooperative and mutual organisations. This three-day program applies theory and industry best practice to the organisational realities of the participants. \nThe crucial need for the CMSDP\nWhile there are many general management and development programs on the market\, most do not meet the specific requirements of this sector\, which has acknowledged the need for a dedicated course which captures the unique nature of the co-operative enterprise business model. \nMany aspects of the way co-operative and mutual enterprises are managed are similar to more conventional businesses. However\, there are also many important differences. These relate to areas such as their governance\, distribution of share capital and voting rights\, human resources\, communications\, marketing and strategic purpose. \nEvent details\nDate:        12 – 14 June 2019 \nTime:       8:30 AM – 5.00 PM \nVenue:    AIM WA Floreat \nExpress your interest to attend the online Co-operatives and mutuals strategic development program

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Compliance in the Post-Hayne era: Get your head around compliance – it’s the law!
DESCRIPTION:This is a member only event limited to a small group to facilitate high level discussion. The roundtable will be chaired by Kris Peach\, Chair\, Australian Accounting Standards Board. \nWhat is the event about? \nThere is strong trend towards increased compliance and assurance responsibilities and little sympathy is given to inadequate controls\, either by the public or by regulators. Information Security is now one of the fundamental components of compliance and it is expected and required that executives and boards take responsibility\, as well as accountability\, for information security within an organisation. \nMany organisations have learned just how significant the consequences of control failures can be in terms of regulatory involvement\, and equally as importantly\, in terms of the loss of trust by their communities. \nDoes your organisation have a risk and control framework that maintains information security in a manner commensurate with the size and extent of threats to its information assets? \nJoin Stephen Frede\, Head of Information Security\, TAS and Kris Peach\, Chair AASB to look at these trends and the implications for executives and directors. Attendees will also receive a complimentary copy of TAS’ Annual Compliance Index – 3rd Edition but places are limited so ensure you register now. \nWho is the event for? \nThis is an exclusive round table lunch-time discussion on the latest trends and implications on compliance and information security for executives and directors\, including the CRO\, CFO\, and Company Secretaries. \nPlaces are limited. Register online today for the seminar \nEvent Details\nDate:     7 May 2019 \nTime:     11:30am–2pm \nVenue:   RACV City Club\, Melbourne \nHost:      BCCM and TAS

Through September and November this year\, a great co-operator\, Dr. Guy Turnbull has been the Thinker in Residence for the Don Dunstan Foundation. Reflecting Don Dunstan’s legacy as a change maker\, Guy has helped to foster the latent talent and curiosity of the South Australian community to re-imagine an economy based on different models of citizen ownership. One of these models has been another South Australian first – the formation of  Kudos as Australia’s first employee-led mutual to form from the South Australian government to operate in the NDIS. \nThis study tour will focus on gaining insights and knowledge on how to apply the co-operative principles to design new co-operatives that meet the challenges of consumer directed services like the NDIS\, giving Participants choice and control as well as creating and retaining employment opportunities in South Australia. \n Intended Tour Outcomes \n\nUnderstand the co-operative difference and the potential of co-operatives to increase diversity and choice in the NDIS market in South Australia\nEach participant enjoys the study tour and is able to apply the lessons learned to further strategic directions of their organisation\nThe tour experience consolidates willing ambassadors who co-operatively help inform how member ownership and business acumen can transform health and human services and shape public policy in Australia\n\nYou are joining a group of 25 leaders and change-makers from a diverse range of South Australian service providers to: \n\nLearn how well-designed co-operatives and mutuals can increase choice and control in the NDIS and related health and human services sectors.\nHear from co-operative leaders and entrepreneurs about how to establish and grow a successful co-operative\nGain insights from the UK Mutuals Program on how employee-led mutuals have increased trust and productivity in health and community services\nUnderstand how different models of member ownership and social enterprise can differentiate your service offering for your staff and the people you serve\nLearn how to incorporate the co-operative principles into legal and governance models\nDevelop understanding amongst public policy leaders and commissioners on how different models of member ownership can increase diversity between providers and help to achieve economic and social development goals\n\nYour fellow participants include people from organisations working in personal care\, community support\, disability employment\, allied health\, plan management as well as those with special expertise in different disability types such as autism\, brain injury and carers. Together\, your interests and motivations for joining the tour embrace harnessing the place-based opportunities in urban as well as in rural and remote settings. \nTour highlights: what participants can expect to hear and from whom: \n\nCo-operatives operating in 3 eastern seaboard states/territory of Queensland\, NSW and ACT.\nHost visits with co-operative leaders and change-makers from\n\nNundah Community Enterprise Co-operative\nThe Co-operative Life\nSILC – Supported Independent Living Co-operative\nCommon Equity Housing NSW\, and\nNational Health Co-operative\n\n\nTailored BCCM presentation with Get Mutual co-operative development tools and resources.\nOutline of BCCM policy initiatives on co-operative and mutual development in human services\n\nYou will learn from our co-operative hosts: \n“Co-operatives are the ideal legal structure for family governed homes for people with disabilities. Housemates pool their NDIS packages and part of their Disability Support Pensions to fund payments to support workers and other operating costs. Family members act as the Board and are actively involved in how the Home is run. SILC helps the groups of families learn from each other and supports them by providing services that they are unable to do themselves.” Steve Anthony\, Founder SILC \n“I am especially passionate about the NDIS. In my role at SILC\, I am driven to ensure the Scheme is equitable and above all\, sustainable. The SILC model has been co-designed by families\, Participants and staff. It breaks through the barriers faced by people with disability and their families and aims to support them to find housing they are happy with and that meets their needs”. Faen Burrows\, Chief Operating Officer\, SILC \n“Co-operatives and mutuals have the potential to re-imagine our economy. They do this by member ownership and applying the co-operative principles in designing business models that meet a need for their members – be they workers\, consumers\, communities\, enterprises or a combination of each.” Melina Morrison – BCCM CEO \n“The Nundah Co-op model has helped people who have difficulties finding employment get a job and keep it. This helps their self- esteem\, so they can grow in the job which in turn\, helps them lead ordinary lives in the community. We need more Nundah Co-operatives to achieve social and economic advancement in communities.” Richard Warner – Co-ordinator\, Nundah Community Enterprise Co-operative \n“The Co-operative Life is Australia’s first employee-owned co-operative in Australia. We formed as a co-operative because we were not satisfied with the quality of our jobs as care workers for other providers. We are a nimble networked group of support workers who deliver quality care and supports in aged care and the NDIS. We are a distributing co-operative which means our members – who are our employees – benefit from any surplus we make and thrive on exceeding the expectations of their customers”. Robyn Kaczmarek – Co-Founder and CEO\, The Co-operative Life \n“Common Equity NSW promotes housing co-operatives and is innovating with several new co-operative models. Our members are housing co-operatives each comprised of resident members. Our model is voted #1 in Australia by residents and particularly well suited to vulnerable groups seeking better outcomes from consumer directed funding such as homecare or the NDIS.” James Brown – CEO\, Common Equity Housing \n“The National Health Co-operative started because people in the ACT could not get access to GPs. So\, the patients acted and formed a consumer owned co-operative that now employs the GPs and has expanded to other allied health professionals in Canberra and regional NSW. This is a citizen centric movement that combines good business practices with meeting a community need.” Blake Wilson – General Manager and Deputy CEO\, National Health Co-operative \n  \nBrowse the study tour photo gallery

SUMMARY:Per Capita: From Cultures of Compromise to a Stance of Possibility
DESCRIPTION:Disability inclusion in the cooperative and mutuals sector  \nKey speaker: Dr Guy Turnbull\, thinker in residence\, Don Dunstan Foundation \nAgenda\n\nIntroduction and purpose of the day\nFrom cultures of compromise to a stance of possibility. Traditionally\, workplace cultures frame disability in terms of regulatory requirements\, burden of cost and OH&S considerations. How do we move from these ‘cultures of compromise’ to a stance of possibility? Inclusive workplaces bring commercial benefits\, improve workplace culture and are not more costly. They also have the potential to drive broader social impact.\nWhat are the emerging narratives around disability inclusion in cooperatives and mutuals’ sector? Voice\, empowerment and leadership: How does the cooperatives and mutuals sector support workers with disability – and what are the gaps?\nHow does a cooperatives’ business model promote inclusive work practices? While (Per Capita) research shows a majority of workers in the co-operatives and mutuals’ sector feel their workplace ‘already inclusive’ and a significant majority of staff support employing people with disability\, does a ‘disability perception gap’ mask negative attitudes and experiences people with disability often face?\nSummary: from action planning to action: what comes next?\n\nEvent details\nDate: 13 November 2018 \nTime: 12.30pm – 2.30pm \nVenue: Flinders University \nBook online today

SUMMARY:Parliamentary Friends of Mutuals and Co-operatives lunch
DESCRIPTION:Bipartisanship in politics is rare\, but the support for Australia’s 2000 cooperatives and mutuals was on display today at the Parliamentary Friends of Mutuals and Co-operatives lunch. \nCo-chaired by Senator The Hon. Bridget McKenzie and The Hon. Dr. Andrew Leigh MP\, the Parliamentary Friends of Mutuals and Co-operatives was created in 2017 to raise awareness and further the cause of member-owned enterprises.  Senator McKenzie and Dr Leigh organised today’s lunch\, joined by representatives of the Prime Minister’s office\, as well as the personal staff of Ministers Cash\, Frydenberg and Fierravanti-Wells and Adam Bandt.Politicians in attendance included: \n\nSenator Fraser Anning\nMr Tony Pasin MP\nMr Ben Morton MP\nSenator Andrew Bartlett\nMs Julie Owens MP\nMs Lisa Singh MP\nSenator Steve Martin\nMr Kevin Hogan MP\nSenator Rex Patrick\n\nAs co-chair\, Senator McKenzie said she was proud to support the co-operative and mutual sector. She spoke about the power of co-ops and mutuals within local communities\, regional areas\, rural health and sport\, noting that the implementation of the Hammond Review recommendations will enable the sector to grow. \nDr Leigh said he was proud the Labor Party was headlining policy on the co-operative and mutual sector\, with positive comments about the member-owned business model. \nThe BCCM was delighted to welcome long-term supporters of the sector including Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Kate Carnell and Su McCluskey. \nA multiparty turnout is welcome – and rare – in Canberra and confirms the support BCCM and the sector has among political decision-makers.  “We are a uniquely placed sector able to appeal to a broad range of politicians\,” BCCM CEO Melina Morrison said in her address to the Parliamentary Friends. \nMember-owned businesses are trusted business partners to eight in ten voters in this country\, and there are more than 2000 Australian co-operative and mutual enterprises. In 2017\, they contributed 8.3 per cent of the nation’s GDP. \nView event photo gallery
