COTA Queensland is committed to advocating and facilitating age-friendly environments which foster the health, well-being, and participation of people as they age. Such environments are inclusive, equitable, safe and supportive, and promote health, wellness, and longevity.
We have created a detailed action plan for the Queensland Government to address some of the big concerns for Queenslanders as we age and create a state for all ages. The action plan gives a clear direction to achieve our Vision for Queensland.
When we focus on the group of older Australians who are not doing so well at the moment, we see numerous challenges related to finances, health, age discrimination and a general lack of trust in Government and the future.
