Community impact
We prioritise community impact in everything we do. From the design of our spaces to the partnerships we form with local businesses, we're always thinking about how we can make a difference.
Sustainability and environmental care are also integral parts of KoWorks. We are dedicated to making our coworking spaces as eco-friendly as possible.
We understand coworking is more than just a physical space, it's a community of like-minded individuals working towards a common goal, which can be a powerful driver of positive change.
Our focus
While we support a number of community and health initiatives, these four are close to our hearts.
Surf Life Saving Clubs
Life-saving impact
These legends save lives every day through their rescue and prevention activities, and they even provide significant savings to our healthcare system. By supporting the work of SLSCs through our KoWorks venues, we're doing our part to make sure these everyday heroes can keep our communities safe and healthy.
Climate
Helping mother earth
Getting to work and powering up the office uses a lot of energy and pumps out a ton of pollution. So, we made sure our KoWorks locations are just a walk, run or ride away from our members front doors. Plus, we’re all about ditching single-use plastics and being mindful of water use. In fact, we're so good at recycling that we're planning to turn our waste into new KoWorks furniture!
Local Business
Keeping businesses open
Local businesses are the backbone of any community. They bring character, charm, and uniqueness to a neighbourhood. At KoWorks, we partner with local businesses to bring their products and services to our members. By doing so, we help to stimulate the local economy and foster a sense of community pride.
Mental Health
Leading the future of work
Numerous studies have demonstrated the profound influence of the work environment on productivity, motivation, and stress levels. Therefore, we place a strong emphasis on cultivating a mindful and purposeful approach to work, which is reflected in the thoughtful design of our workspaces. It’s 'Beach Vibes’ only at KoWorks! Also, to further support the wellbeing of our members and minimise their risk of stress and burnout, we regularly host community wellbeing events such as yoga and Breathworks.
Hear from the local community
Since KoWorks opened up in our community, we've seen so many new faces and our cafe become a popular spot for KoWorkers to meet before and after work. They've brought an energy and connection to the area and it's been great to see people working together, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.

I have had the pleasure of working alongside KoWorks and their members. They bring energy and life to our community venues, creating a buzz that is infectious. What's even more impressive is the way they support and promote local businesses like mine.

It was my personal observation that the community of KoWorkers the partnership attracts, provides our club with a vibrant and diverse cross-section of people who provide both a valuable resource to our club, as well as the wider Copacabana community.
