Policy

COTA NSW is the peak body in the ageing sector and a respected player in the policy field. Our policy positions and recommendations are based on extensive community consultation.

Every year COTA NSW consults people around the state about issues that are important to older people. You can be involved!

COTA NSW produces a 50+ report each year on a topic affecting older people, based on consultation and research.

Each year COTA NSW produces a pre-budget submission making recommendations to the NSW government, with particular focus on the NSW Ageing Strategy.

COTA NSW responds to many requests for comment and input to government inquiries, discussion papers, and draft strategies, standards and legislation that affect older people.

COTA NSW produces policy position statements on issues of importance to older people - housing, end of life care, transport, employment and finance.
