COTA Queensland has called on the Queensland Government to remember older tenants, jobseekers, and regional patients travelling to medical appointments, in the lead up to the 2013-14 State Budget.
The mental health and wellbeing of senior Australians is a priority during this time. There are a range of supports available if you, or one of your clients, are feeling isolated, worried or need someone to talk to.
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.
