COTA NT reports on its growth and achievements

30 Oct 2025

COTA NT  tabled its Annual Report for COTA NT for 2024–25 at its Annual General Meeting on 24 October 2025. It demonstrates how this reporting period saw the organisation attain significant growth, achievement and strengthen its impact across all areas of our organisation.

The organisation’s policy and advocacy work remained a central focus throughout this period during which COTA NT aimed to influence decision-makers on issues important to senior Territorians including aged care, voluntary assisted dying legislation, cost of living,  health, wellbeing and safety. 

In the report, you can read about COTA NT’s programs and projects including advocacy, events and activities, aged care navigation, membership, multicultural support, Seniors Card, Seniors Month and volunteering.
From the least reporting period (2023-2024) the organisation has seen an increase of up to 30% in almost every area of its work.

“In reviewing the work completed during the last financial year by COTA NT, I am reminded of why we are the peak body representing seniors in the Northern Territory, the go-to people, the one-stop-shop for seniors.
We are more connected than ever before with our COTA Federation, COTA NT Members, Sponsors, Supporters and stakeholders. You will see in the report how our success in developing and managing connections has
resulted in an extensive body of work,” said Jan Jewell Chair of COTA NT. “COTA NT is very much about community and inclusivity. Its reach to seniors through events and interactive media is particularly impressive. Under the leadership of Sue Shearer, the staff continue to innovate and deliver programs with an outstanding level of professionalism, care and dedication…

“On behalf of the Board, I extend sincere thanks to Sue, staff and volunteers for their exceptional efforts. Their commitment and teamwork continue to inspire confidence in our future success.”
