For older Australians | Council on the Ageing South Australia
COTA SA is creating new images and expectations of our older years... boldly reframing the way we age.
Our Vision
Ageing in Australia is a time of possibility, opportunity and influence.
Our Mission
We advance the rights, interests and futures of Australians as we age.
COTA SA is the peak body for 633,000 older people in South Australia. We provide a platform to ensure that older South Australians are part of decision-making by government and industry on everything from income and employment to housing and health.
Social Connections
Get back out after COVID! Meet with a peer volunteer who can help you find and join social activities and supports that match your goals and interests
Strength for Life
Get moving with Strength for Life. This program promotes health and well-being for older South Australians through strength training programs run by accredited fitness providers.
Landmark Report
In June this year, the COTAs launched the 2021 State of the (Older) Nation report, a landmark report providing a snapshot of life experiences and attitudes of Australians aged 50+
IDoP
This International Day of Older Persons, we're 'Owning our Age'. This year’s theme was inspired by the attitude of our COTA SA President, Emeritus Professor Anne Edwards, to turning 80
COTA Visitors
