COTA

BELONG, BENEFIT, BE HEARD

Who is COTA?

For over 50 years, COTA has been the peak body representing the interests of older Australians.  It promotes and advocates to Government (State, Federal and Local), the business sector and the community in general.  Older people are represented by COTA via a wide range of forums, committees, consumer advisory groups and research bodies, both Government and non-Government.  

COTA provides opportunities for members to directly contribute to the identification of issues & the development of policy and it undertakes research to seek the views of older people to bring about social change. 

We help increase participation in the community and raise awareness of the contributions that seniors make to society. 

We also provide a variety of free programs, information sessions, workshops, events and support to help people lead active and healthy lifestyles and to meet & connect with others.

There is a COTA in every Australian State and Territory.
