Real Stories

Here's what happens when community comes to you - genuine connections, renewed purpose, and lives enriched.

  • Leading bridge creates space for people to socialise. Now they have friends who notice if they’re not there.

    Morris R

  • These people have become like family. It’s not charity – it’s community, and I get as much as I give.

    Janet L

  • At COA’s lectures, people want to hear my perspectives. I’ve met people who share my intellectual curiosity.

    Miriam S

  • The meal delivery has been a lifesaver. More than the food, it’s seeing Sarah every Tuesday with her warm smile. Knowing she’s coming gives me something to look forward to.

    Ruth M

  • The art class has become the highlight of my week. At 73, I’m discovering talents I didn’t know I had.

Frequently asked questions

Get answers to the questions we hear most often from new community members.

Contact us

  • Can I come to COA if I am not a Member?

    Absolutely! Non-members can attend most of our events and experience what makes our community special.

  • Can anyone purchase Kosher Meals?

    Yes. Just book two days ahead.

  • What are the Membership benefits?

    Members get priority event access, discounted offers, other special perks and voting rights. But the real value is gaining access to a network of incredible people who genuinely care about their community.

  • Is there a risk of having too much fun at COA?

    We can’t be held responsible for excessive enjoyment, spontaneous friendships, or sudden urges to attend every event. Side effects include: laughing until your cheeks hurt, making lifelong friends, and developing an unhealthy obsession with our community dinners.

  • How much does participation cost?

    Membership is $40-75 annually and includes discounted events and monthly coffee catch-ups. Individual activities range from gold coin donations to $10 per session. Meal delivery starts at $10 per meal. We work with individuals to ensure cost is never a barrier to participation.

  • What if I have limited time to volunteer?

    We have roles for every schedule. Even an hour a month makes a difference.

  • Can I hire out COA spaces?

    Yes. Please be in touch 02 9389 0035 or [email protected]
