Council on the Ageing (COTA) ACT

In the Australian Capital Territory, COTA ACT is the peak organisation concerned with all issues related to ageing. It is an independent, non-party political and non-religious organisation working to protect and promote the well-being, rights and interests of all older people in the ACT, irrespective of socio economic, ethnic, religious or cultural background.

We are the voice of older Canberrans and work with Government on many related issues. We co ordinate the Seniors Card program and offer a range of services and support options for older people.

• Accommodation and housing options
• ACT Seniors cards
• Referrals to community organisations
• Advice on Government services
• Social and support groups for older people, carers and families
• LGBTIQ ageing support and information
