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.

Looks at the five areas of the Ageing Strategy and make recommendations about key outcomes that need to be achieved for older people.

For older Australians to flourish, we need to ensure that supports and systems are in place. At the NSW state election approached in 2019, COTA NSW highlighted the strategic investments that will make this happen.

COTA NSW argues there is scope for additional focus, targeted investment and intervention, particularly with disadvantaged groups of older people within the NSW Ageing Strategy.

COTA NSW's  2017-18 pre-budget submission focused on four interconnected issues that are having a profound impact on older people in NSW – housing affordability, walkable towns and cities, older people’s mental health and elder abuse.
