Social inclusion

Part of COTA NT’s aims for Territory seniors is to provide and promote opportunities for social inclusion and age-friendly social participation activities in support of the World Health Organisation’s framework for age friendly cities (communities).

Music lovers meet regularly at COTA

Get-togethers for games and music

Our most regular activities focus on bringing groups with a shared interest together such as social bingo and musical jamming. Both groups meet regularly at Spillett House and enjoy access to air-conditioned and comfortable spaces, access to the kitchen and are asked only to make a small donation, if able, towards running costs. Groups are facilitated by COTA volunteers.

Movie lovers

Regular opportunities to view movies with particular appeal to seniors are offered by Event Cinemas in Darwin and Palmerston. Event Cinemas is an active supporter of COTA NT (read more).
