COTA will in 2009 introduce the Strength Training for Older People Innovation Awards. The aims of these awards are to identify examples of good practice in the delivery of strength training programs for older people, to recognise providers of innovative and effective strength training programs and to promote effective strategies to increase participation in strength training by older people, and in particular disadvantaged groups.
 
These awards are open to providers of strength training programs for older people in Victoria, including those who deliver Living Longer Living Stronger™ and recipients of a Go for your life strength training improvement or development grant. If you offer programs at more than one venue, you can nominate EITHER one venue or your whole program – do not submit nominations for more than one venue.
