About Co-Hive

Co-Hive is a Sydney-based organisation empowering young adults aged 17–35 with disability, neurodiversity, and low support needs to achieve award-wage open employment, build independence and advocacy, and develop strong social connections.

Founded by an experienced leader in special education with deep expertise in post-school transitions, Co-Hive exists because too many young adults with low support needs disability were leaving school without successful pathways into employment, further education, or meaningful community life.

In just two years, we’ve achieved:

• National Award Winner: Best New Disability Business in Australia (2024)

• National Award Finalist: Best Disability Employment Pathways Program in Australia (2025)

• 2 hubs (both located in Alexandria)

• 15 full-time staff and contractors, supported by a highly skilled offshore team

• 140+ participants attending each week

More importantly, Co-Hive has built something rare and deeply needed - a genuine community. We have supported hundreds of young adults and their families to move from uncertainty to confidence, from limited options to real pathways, and from isolation to belonging. For many families, Co-Hive has restored hope for a future their young person can feel proud of - one grounded in purpose, independence, contribution, and meaningful success.
