COTA NT advocating for and working towards an age-friendly, just, inclusive and equitable society for all Territorians over 50
Our Members’ Home Maintenance Service is designed to help you find the right person to maintain your home and keep you safe and comfortable in your environment.
Our volunteers and tradies have assisted with jobs of all sizes, and with different degrees of urgency. Their work has helped to prevent electrical shock, falls at home, home safety and also dealt with some of the little irks that we often just end up living with such as leaking taps and broken, unusable furniture.
(Note: To use COTA NT’s Home Maintenance Service, you must be a current financial member and reside in an area which is serviced.)
