Our History

Our History

Council On The Ageing (COTA) Tasmania has represented older Tasmanians for over 60 years.

While individual issues may have changed over time, the determination and commitment of COTA to make sure that the voices of older Tasmanians are heard has not.

COTA Tasmania is governed by an elected board of directors who are supported by dedicated staff and volunteers. Together, we strive to make sure that the contributions of older people are proudly recognised and acknowledged in Tasmania.  We aim to raise awareness of ageism and its impacts and encourage people to view the ageing process differently.
