How to support COTA NT petitions

Details may vary depending on the Petition, but generally speaking, when you have read the petition and are in favour of adding your support to it, the most basic level of support you can give is to sign the Petition by giving your first and last name and signature.

Electronic petitions can be accepted by those being petitioned, but differing rules can apply depending on the entity. Some petitions can only be signed by Australian citizens and permanent residents.

You can always help to support our petitions by helping to spread the word.
