COTA has been appointed to the Brighton Health Campus Project Steering Committee to provide direction and leadership for the Brighton Health Campus Project in developing a vision, service profile, workforce considerations and partnership opportunities for the Brighton Campus.
Any Queenslander can submit a local story about an inspirational older person, group or event that challenges stereotypes of ageing for a chance to receive a $1000 grant.
We continue to actively seek recognition of the positive contribution that older people make economically and socially to Queensland. We are strong advocates for an Age-friendly Queensland promoting intergenerational interactions, to enable people to grow to their fullest capacity.
The 2021/22 State Budget submission details the key initiatives that the Queensland Government
should introduce to help address the existing barriers to achieving an inclusive Queensland for all
ages.
Research for the project identified that older men especially those who have worked in rural industries don’t access aged care services. In response to this older men’s groups are part of the target for the project.
