Event description

COTA Victoria and Seniors Rights Victoria invites older Victorians to participate in an exciting new research initiative that explores how older Victorians maintain social connections. This in-person event offers you the chance to identify opportunities to increase access to services and programs that support older Victorians.

Share your experiences, discuss barriers to social engagement, and propose practical solutions that could make a real difference in your community. Your insights will directly inform advocacy efforts and help develop more effective support systems across Victoria.

Be part of this important conversation about social connectedness and help build stronger communities for all older Victorians. Your perspective matters –- help us create change that works.

This event is free to members; tea, coffee, and lunch will be provided. A formal program will run between 10 am - 11.30 am; participants are welcome to stay, have a chat, and enjoy lunch until 12.30 pm.

This conversation will be held in the Majorca Room, located on level 1 of the Melbourne City Library, accessible by both lift or stairs.

Council on the Ageing (COTA) Victoria is the leading not-for-profit organisation representing the interests and rights of people aged 50+ in Victoria. For more than 70 years, 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.
