About Us > Intro

 

South Sydney Community Aid Co-op Ltd was established by the Good Neighbour Council of Redfern in 1968.

In 1967 the Good Neighbour Council identified a desperate need to provide a service for the local community to meet the needs of multicultural people migrating to the area who had no service provision. Funding for the service was provided by the Department of Immigration.

South Sydney Community Aid Co-op Ltd currently has 89 members. We welcome individuals and organisations to join our cooperative.
