Policy and Issues

COTA NSW policy rests on three pillars of Research, Consumer Engagement and Advocacy. COTA NSW policy is designed to advance the needs and priorities for people over 50. We do this through developing policy positions to influence legislation, and advocate policies to government, decision-makers and the community.

COTA NSW identifies policy issues of local, state and national importance for seniors, and develops policy and program responses. We work with other peak agencies and COTAs nationally to create social change through managing ongoing consultative forums of seniors, policy makers and other stakeholders to provide leadership and expert advice on ageing issues.
