About

COTA Tasmania (Council on the Ageing) has been the voice of older Tasmanians for 60 years.

Our Vision: Tasmania is a place where all people are treated with respect, kindness and dignity, and where ageing is a time of opportunity, contribution and celebration.

Our Mission: We challenge ageism and promote the rights, interests and value of all Tasmanians as they age.

Our Values

• Respect: We respect the contribution and experience of all Tasmanians as they age
  and support each person’s right to make choices, be safe, and to participate in the community.
• Diversity: We appreciate our differences and are inclusive of a broad range of perspectives and life experiences.
• Collaboration: We foster meaningful relationships with older people, each other, our working partnerships, and all members of the Tasmanian community.
• Trust: We are open and honest, and we take ethical action informed by evidence.
