A team of 12 champions are helping their Dandenong communities navigate the aged care system, thanks to the work of COTA Victoria’s Aged Care Navigator project.

As the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety continues, COTA Victoria has heard from older people across the state about the problems with aged care - and how to fix them.

COTA Victoria’s staunch aged care advocate Merle Mitchell appeared as a witness at the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, which started hearings in Sydney last week.

Feedback from sessions organised by COTA Victoria suggest that older Victorians are feeling positive about the opportunity to participate in the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.

Six community services in Victoria have joined the Aged Care Systems Navigator in a 15-month national trial led by Council of the Ageing (COTA) Australia and funded by the Australian Government.
