COTA NSW's first 50+ Report for 2021 has revealed that many older people were resilient in the face of COVID-19 restrictions, and were inventive in finding new ways to address their needs. However, there were areas of concern including mental health, isolation and curtailment of volunteering.
COTA NSW makes recommendations on the four areas of the new Ageing Well in NSW: Seniors Strategy 2021 – 2031. The four areas are: Living in age friendly environments; Participating in inclusive communities; Staying safe, active and healthy; and Being resilient and well-informed.
