IMPORTANT ROLE OF SENIORS INFORMATION VICTORIA RECOGNISED BY CONSUMER AFFAIRS
It was with great excitement and pleasure that staff from Seniors Information Victoria (SIV) recently accepted a Consumer Affairs Victoria Award for 2008 on behalf of COTA
SIV’s Consumer Service Award recognised the work of the information service in ‘contributing to a fairer marketplace in the community.’
In presenting the Award to SIV Manager Kris Spark, Dr Claire Noone, Director of Consumer Affairs Victoria, emphasised the importance of appropriate information in good decision-making and acknowledged SIV’s role in providing a free & accessible information service to older people.
Dr Noone also highlighted the Need to Know information series and the support for SIV’s nomination by Housing for the Aged Action Group & the National Information Centre on Retirement Investments.
Stacey van Dueren & Pat Anger from the information service accompanied Kris at the presentation ceremony which was held at CAV Head Office, high up on Level 27. Everyone enjoyed the event, including the formalities & the subsequent photo shoot with Dr Claire Noone.
COTA is proud to have the value of SIV’s work Recognised and to have the opportunity to celebrate with other people and organisations that have made a positive difference for Victorian consumers.
