Committed to achieving a society where older people are respected, consulted, included, represented and heard

COTA NSW has long had a clear vision of the sort of society we want to bring into being.

We’re committed to achieving a society where older people are respected, consulted, included, represented and heard.

We are determined that their contributions are valued and that they have access to the opportunities other members of the community take for granted.
