We have launched Australia’s first AI-powered chatbot on the BCCM website. Get instant support for setting up and running a co-op or mutual.
Based on a pilot in New Zealand with our sister organisation Co-operative Business NZ, the Co-op Buddy is located on the bottom right of every page of the website.
Try Buddy out with a question you have about running a co-op, raising capital or updating your constitution.
