Representation in the Community
We run programs, workshops, and events to empower older Tasmanians. From community sessions to informative workshops, our work connects, supports, and advocates for positive ageing across the state.
Programs and Events that Empower Older Tasmanians Across the State
At COTA Tasmania, we deliver a wide range of programs, events, and workshops designed to support and uplift older people in our communities. Whether it’s practical information sessions, digital inclusion training, or forums on health and wellbeing, our initiatives are tailored to the real needs of Tasmanians as they age.
We engage with local communities across urban and regional areas, ensuring access and inclusion for all. Through these activities, we help older people stay informed, connected, and confident in making choices that support their independence and quality of life.
Representation in the Community
COTA Tasmania advocates for older Tasmanians by ensuring their voices are heard where decisions are made. We actively represent the interests of older Tasmanians in a wide range of consumer groups, networks, and advisory committees, including:
- Older Persons Reference Group
- Seniors Alliance Tasmania
- Statewide Elder Abuse Prevention Advisory Committee
- Healthy Ageing Network South
- Tasmanian Active Living Coalition
- Aurora Community Consultation Forum
- TasNetworks Customer Council & Pricing Reform Group
- OTTER Customer Consultative Committee
Through this representation, we bring the perspectives of older Tasmanians directly into government, community, and industry discussions, helping to shape more inclusive, age-friendly policies and practices.
