COTA Tasmania is undertaking community consultation activities to support the development of the next Strategy for Older Tasmanians.

We want to H.E.A.R how you stay Healthy, Engaged and Resilient as you age. As part of this we have developed a short survey to reach as many Tasmanians as possible, alongside holding in person events and activities with community partners across the state.

Whether you are 40, 75 or 105 years of age (or any age in between!) what are your experiences of ageing in Tasmania?

What does ageing mean to you?

Can you access the services and supports you need?

What do you think Tasmanian’s need to age well?

How can I get involved?

 Organisations

 Email 1-2 pages about your views on the current Active Ageing plan and the things your organisation feel should be considered in developing the 2023-2029 plan
