COTA Tasmania (Council on the Ageing) is the leading voice for Tasmanians as they age. We promote changes to our systems and culture so that all Tasmanians can age well. We have been the voice of older Tasmanians for 60 years.
Our Vision: Tasmania is a place where all people are treated with respect, kindness and dignity, and where ageing is a time of opportunity, contribution and celebration.
Our Mission: We challenge ageism and promote the rights, interests and value of all Tasmanians as they age.
Our Values
Respect: We respect the contribution and experience of all Tasmanians as they age
and support each person’s right to make choices, be safe, and to participate in the community.
Diversity: We appreciate our differences and are inclusive of a broad range of perspectives and life experiences.
Collaboration: We foster meaningful relationships with older people, each other, our working partnerships, and all members of the Tasmanian community.
Trust: We are open and honest, and we take ethical action informed by evidence.
