A collaborative partnership has been formed between U3A Network Queensland and COTA Q with the signing of a MoU to develop mutually beneficial arrangements to promote healthy ageing.
Existing divergences must be overcome, given the unanimity about the need to strengthen the protection of the human rights of older persons and the millions of older persons waiting for their human rights to become reality.
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.
COTA Queensland has been appointed to the Taskforce to advise the Queensland Government on housing options and approaches to support older Queenslanders to retain their independence into old age and control how and where they live.
