A joint initiative between COTA Tasmania (Council on The Ageing) and Working It Out (WIO) to help raise awareness of Elder Abuse within the LGBTIQ+ community was launched as part of the Pride Party in the Park celebrations on Saturday 1 February 2025.
COTA Tasmania has welcomed the State Government’s launch of 'A Respectful, Age-Friendly Island: Older Tasmanians’ Action Plan 2025-2029', while at the same time emphasising a critical need for its swift implementation.
COTA Tasmania submitted their Budget Priorities Statement on the 20th December 2024, highlighting the need for greater awareness of the needs of Tasmania's ageing population and a stronger focus on proactive and preventative measures to support us all to age well.
