Co-Hive: End of Year Celebration 🏊🎉

FAQs

• When do Social Meetups happen?

  Our Social Meetups take place on different days throughout each term and during holiday breaks, covering everything from concerts and sports events to special one-off experiences. Keep an eye on the Wall of Events and website, as new events are added regularly!

• Who can join a Social Meetup?

  Any current and previous Co-Hiver is welcome! To secure your spot, you'll go through a short booking and payment process. Once that's confirmed, you'll be added to the event information page where you'll find all the details you need.

• Where do I go on the day?

  Meeting points vary depending on the event, but most Social Meetups will start from one of our Co-Hive hubs or Central Station. All meeting and dismissal details will be listed on each individual event page, so you’ll always know exactly where to be and when.

• What's the difference between the out-of-pocket cost and the NDIS cost?

  The out-of-pocket (OOP) cost covers the activity itself, including entry fees, tickets, or other event expenses that can't be claimed through your NDIS funds. The NDIS component covers the support our team provides on the day and is invoiced after the event.

• What if I can't make it and need to cancel?

  Life happens, and we get it! We have a refund policy in place to make sure things are fair for everyone. You'll find the full details in the Refund Policy section when you're booking. We recommend having a quick read before you register.

• Do I need to bring a support worker?

  All Social Meetups are supported and supervised by Co-Hive staff. To ensure consistency and the best experience for the group, all on-the-day support is provided by our team.

• What's the group size like?

  Our meetups vary in size depending on the event, but Co-Hive staff are always there to make sure things run smoothly and everyone feels comfortable and included.

• I'm coming for the first time — what should I expect?

  Welcome! Your first meetup can feel a little nerve-wracking, and that's completely normal. Our facilitators will introduce you to the group and make sure you feel at ease. Most Co-Hivers will tell you that after the first 10 minutes, it just feels like hanging out with mates.

• Are the activities accessible?

  We do our best to choose venues and activities that are accessible for everyone. Accessibility information is listed on each event page, but if you have specific needs or questions, just reach out to us before booking and we'll make sure we've got you covered.

• Can I suggest an activity or event?

  Absolutely! We love hearing ideas from Co-Hivers. If there's something you've been wanting to do or somewhere you'd like to go, let us know. A big part of what we do is shaped by what you actually want to get out of it.

• What happens if an event is cancelled or changed?

  If we need to cancel or make changes to a meetup, we'll let you know as soon as possible via email and the event's Basecamp page. Any out-of-pocket costs already paid will be refunded.

• Can parents, carers or support coordinators get more information?

  Of course! If a parent, carer, or support coordinator wants to know more about how our Social Meetups work before booking, they're welcome to get in touch with us directly at events@cohive.com.au. We're always happy to chat.

• What do I need to bring?

  Once your booking is confirmed, you'll receive all the details you need for the event on Basecamp. It's important you check Basecamp the day before for any updates.

• Do I need to go to all of the events?

  Not at all! Each event is independent, so you can register for whichever ones interest you. There's no commitment to attend them all.

• Can I invite a friend?

  Our Social Meetups and Independent Getaways are available to current and previous Co-Hivers only. If your friend is a Co-Hiver, they're always welcome to register for events independently through the usual booking process.
