Cowork Coplay is a program designed to support partners of current serving and former serving Australian Defence Force (ADF) members to focus on their career and building a supportive community network.
The free eight-week program identifies the unique challenges faced by military partners, including career disruptions, increased caregiving responsibilities and loss of social connections.
Cowork Coplay recognises the impact these challenges have on ADF partners and aims to reduce these barriers by providing an inclusive community environment filled with learning and networking opportunities, workshops with mentors, modern coworking facilities and onsite child-minding services.
Applications for the 2025 intake are now open, with the program set to begin in the week of 5 May 2025 applications will close 20 April.
Veterans SA is proud to support the Cowork Coplay Program again in 2025.
