Tax year end appeal

At Council on the Ageing Victoria, we are changing lives.

Gary, who is in his 50s, had received knock back after knock back. His goal of paid employment seemed out of reach.

After seeing a COTA Victoria advertisement in his local paper, Gary joined the Reach, Train, Employ project (a joint initiative of COTA Victoria, Good Shepherd Australia and New Zealand, and Future Social Services Institute at RMIT University). The project, which has moved online because of the COVID-19 epidemic, is helping older Victorians in Melbourne’s western suburbs get jobs.

I have learned so much. When I get my Certificate III in Aged Care, I will be applying for jobs with my local aged care facilities. There is a huge demand and the certificate will help unlock the door to future employment.
