The Strategy's vision is 'older people in the Brisbane south region experience a greater quality of life through safe connected and coordinated person-centred care in an age-friendly community.
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.
An age-friendly community is where older people are valued, respected and actively engaged in their community. They can stay in touch with people they care about and find the services and support they need. Age-friendly communities are more liveable for everyone.
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.
