A joint submission by 13 national organisations working with older people and carers, in response to the Australian Government's consultation raised in the A New Aged Care Act: the foundations, Consultation Paper No.1.

In this submission COTA Australia argues for greater recognition for older people in housing policy and outline a number of recommendations for the Plan.

COTA Australia, in May 2023, provided a submission to the Select Committee’s inquiry into the Provision and Access of Dental Services in Australia. Our submission focuses on sharing the views and experiences of people aged 50 years and above with dental services in Australia.

The consultation paper is a significant improvement from the first consultation paper providing more details on how safeguarding is defined and registration categories.

The Strategy represents an important step in addressing entrenched issues across sectors who are often in competition with each other.

COTA supports having a goal, and making sure that goal is retirement income for older Australians.
