COTA Vic Live Website : Have Your Say

Conversations with Seniors on Important Issues

In 2009, COTA Victoria is continuing our program of local, metropolitan and regional "Have
Your Say" seniors' gatherings, forums and discussion group.
We are keen to visit seniors' groups, especially if you have a burning issue or you've got
something to say on how life can be improved for Senior Victorians.
For example, tell us your views on:

Health, housing and transport ideas for Age friendly cities
Pensions, superannuation and taxation
Working, retiring, and volunteering
Life-long learning, recreation and leisure needs
Attitudes to life and getting older, your own and society's.

We'd also like to discuss questions such as:

What does living in your community mean to you as an older person?
What are the good things about living in your community as an older person?
What are the difficult things?
What do you value most about living in where you do?
What would you like to change?
What do you want to tell the Council/ state / federal governments / organisations that
provide services?

Let us know your thoughts and ideas, there's no point having a great idea and not sharing it.

Each Discussion Group session is a conversation about some of the big issues, and also
provides an opportunity to listen to local concerns and 'hot' issues. Your views are
important.

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.
