Organisation
COTA Victoria has been the voice of older Victorians for over 50 years.
While individual issues may have changed over that time, the determination and commitment of the organisation to ensure that the voices of older Victorians are heard has not.
COTA Victoria is governed by an elected Board of Management, dedicated staff and volunteers who continually strive to ensure that the contributions of older people are proudly recognised and acknowledged within our community.
