OLDER MENS' HEALTH

COTA Victoria believes that the health and wellbeing of older men in our community is a matter of
urgent attention and action.
We believe that a greater focus on the needs of older men is long overdue, and a policy
framework will enable the different sectors that are interested in this issue to influence the
outcomes for older men’s health.
We are pleased to present COTA Victoria’s position on the issue of older men’s health - our
proposal for a Strategic Policy Framework and an Action Plan to guide government and
community response to the growing concerns on this issue.

MOVING TO CENTRE STAGE: COMMUNITY CARE FOR THE AGED OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS

The final report launched on 17 October 2006, of a project undertaken by the Victorian Community Care Coalition, a coalition of community care providers and consumer representatives, including COTA Victoria.

The Project has examined the capacity of community care services in Victoria to meet growing demand and changing consumer expectations over the next decade. The Final Report makes an important contribution to the debate on how to improve the availability, quality and delivery of services to older Victorians.

The report was funded by the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust and prepared by The Nous Group.

BETTER WORK AND FAMILY BALANCE PROJECT

This Project was coordinated by the Council on the Ageing and undertook to assist ten small organisations to become family - friendly, by raising awareness of better work and family inititives in the workplace, conducting needs assessments with employees, and developing work and family balance policies with each participating organisation.

The Project was funded by a Better Work and Family Balance Grant provided by Industrial Relations Victoria, the Department of Innovation, Industry and Redgional Development. More Details...
