Regional NT Seniors Expos

In this section: Alice Springs| Coomalie | Katherine

Following the success of our major Seniors Expo held in Darwin and Palmerston in 2015, COTA NT staff and volunteers in other regions of the Territory work to create wonderful information days using the same (winning) formula: community + connections + conversations  + celebration = EXPO.

All delivered by staff, volunteers, sponsors and supporters/exhibitors in a spirit of community, openness, teamwork and advocacy.
