Description

Starting off as the Old People's Welfare Council of Victoria in 1951, then becoming the Victorian Council on the Ageing in 1968, and finally the Council on the Ageing Victoria in 1991, we're incredibly proud to have been representing Victorians as they age for 75 years.

Join us at the Melbourne Town Hall Portico Balcony on the afternoon of 11 June as we look back on our history and celebrate what's to come.

Coffee, tea, and light refreshments will be served during the event.

We invite you to arrive from 1.00 pm. Short formal proceedings begin at 1.30 pm, as directed by our President, Mr Robert Caulfield.

This event follows one in the morning: World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2026 - Beyond Age, which takes place at the Melbourne Town Hall between 9.30 am and 12.00 noon.

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity

Council on the Ageing (COTA) Victoria is the leading not-for-profit organisation representing the interests and rights of people aged 50+ in Victoria. Celebrating 75 years of service in 2026, we have led government, corporate, and community thinking about the positive aspects of ageing. Today, our focus is on promoting opportunities for, and protecting the rights of, older Victorians.

We are a not-for-profit community organisation and fund our activities with the support of government, members, philanthropic trusts, businesses and the public. We have an experienced Board, highly qualified Melbourne staff, and dedicated community volunteers throughout Victoria. As a member-based organisation we are run by, for and with older Victorians.

Seniors Rights Victoria (SRV) is the key state-wide service dedicated to advancing the rights of older people and the early intervention into, or prevention of, elder abuse in our community.

SRV has a team of experienced advocates, lawyers, and social workers who provide free information, advice, referral, legal advice, legal casework, and support to older people who are either at risk of or are experiencing elder abuse. SRV supports and empowers older people through the provision of legal advice directly to the older person.
