Mutuo was set up in 2001 as a cross mutual sector body to promote co-operative and mutual business to opinion formers and decision makers. They promote all types of co-operative and mutual business through public affairs and policy advocacy, research and publications, and management consultancy to establish new mutuals.
Mutuo works closely with the Australian Business Council for Co-operatives and Mutuals and, in the UK, provides secretariat services to the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Mutuals.
From 2024, Mutuo has supported and provided secretariat services for the new Mutual and Co-operative Business Sector Council (see link below).
