The Centre was founded in 1990 to provide education and training for co-operatives. Over time, we have evolved in response to emerging needs and opportunities, influenced by our growing knowledgebase and by the skills and interests of our people.
We work with boards and management to deliver practical governance solutions.
Welcome
The Mercury Centre specialises in building collaborative enterprises through consultancy, research, information, advice and training. We describe collaborative enterprise as a group of people working together to achieve a common goal. The recipients of the rewards or dividends from that effort may range from the group themselves through to the entire community. The Mercury Centre cultivates a business approach based on ethical values through providing services that strengthen organisational capacity. We promote the values of co-operation and teamwork; innovation and learning; empowerment; ethical conduct; open communication; and fairness.
We work with people wishing to build strong enterprises with values and ethics as an integral component of their activities. We have an interest in working with people who have limited access to appropriate business skills, support and practices, in particular the community, social enterprise, and regional Australia sectors. We combine business processes to assist in building sustainable, relevant and capable organisations that work for better mental health.
