COTA Vic Live Website : Have Your Say

The voice of older people on independence

During COTA’s Have Your Say program in 2008/09 some focus groups and consultation forums were held with older people across Victoria, along with a series of consultations with clients of HACC services. These consultations gathered their views about their lives and their broad service and support requirements. They also discussed the things that need to be in place across a range of community settings to support independence their way. The full report on these consultations can be downloaded here

What Makes a Decent Life?

In 2010, COTA Victoria is continuing our program of local, metropolitan and regional gatherings. We are keen to visit seniors’ groups and ask ‘What makes a decent life?’
We want to hear from seniors’ groups in metropolitan and country Victoria who are willing to host such a discussion.
Can you help us? We want to:
Meet groups of about 10 to -50 older people in the community and host discussions lasting up to 3 hours. It will take less time with smaller groups.
Conduct open discussions on:
What makes a decent life for older people?
What are the challenges and opportunities older people are currently facing?

COTA Victoria is the Voice of Victorian Seniors. We work with State and Federal
governments, to ensure the seniors? perspective is understood. These conversations will
improve COTA's work on your behalf.

Call the Policy Unit on 9655 2139 to arrange a discussion group.
