“I got back from a stint in Melbourne and was disappointed with the lack of support in the Sydney creative scene,” said Sam Ali, Founder, COMMUNE. “We’re all about collaboration over competition. It’s been great to see a gradual shift over the past 3 years”
COMMUNE allows freelancers and start-ups to keep the creative freedom and independence they love whilst having the backing of a collective and experienced force, connecting businesses and creatives with their peers from other sectors. COMMUNE provides everything from co-working facilities, photography studios, art gallery and workshop spaces.
“I know from experience working from home can be isolated and distracting. We designed COMMUNE to be a space that makes the process as easy as possible for to be creative and productive whilst maintaining a healthy work/life balance.”
“With no huge financial commitments or complicated processes. You’ll be able to just drop in, grab a good coffee and work as long as you need,” added Ali
COMMUNE Co-Working streamlines the process of running an office by removing the overheads and offering everything businesses need under one roof. Facilities include affordable and dynamic workspaces, unlimited business-grade Internet, flexible client meeting rooms and access to a network of creative talent.
“Our Pozible campaign aims to raise funds so that we can expand our offering and take things to a whole new level never seen in Sydney. We’re not just building a new space, we’re redesigning co-working”

All the rewards have been built around getting Founding Members first dibs on the new space. We are not only building a new space, but we are also growing our community. There is a something for everyone, from tickets to our opening party, huge discounts on COMMUNE’s co-working, workshops and photography studios to exclusive deals from our industry partners.
