About Co-Hive
Co-Hive is a vibrant, inclusive centre in Sydney dedicated to empowering young adults with disability (aged 17–35) to build independence, develop real-world skills, and create meaningful social connections.

Who We are
At Co-Hive, we do things differently. We’re a values-led organisation grounded in self-determination and participant-led growth. Through structured, innovative programs, we support young people to build skills across all areas of life— from social skills, navigating public transport and managing daily routines to preparing for open employment.
Our focus is on developing independence, promoting choice and control, reducing the high risk of social isolation, and building capacity for open employment. Whether it’s through hands-on cooking sessions, real-world work experiences, or social events that foster genuine friendships, participants take meaningful steps toward autonomy every day.
With experienced facilitators, strong partnerships with families and employers, and a welcoming environment at the heart of what we do, Co-Hive is more than a service—it’s a connected, inclusive community where every individual is seen, supported, and celebrated.
