This year, COTA Queensland made major strides in creating a Queensland where every older person is valued, heard and supported to live well. Our 2024–2025 Annual Review highlights a year of strong collaboration, growth and advocacy for older Queenslanders.

Key achievements include:

  • Leading Queensland’s new Seniors Social Isolation Prevention Peak, bringing together more than 60 organisations to reduce loneliness and strengthen community connection.
  • Expanding our Energy4Seniors program, empowering more than 14,000 people to manage energy costs confidently.
  • Supporting aged care providers across every region through the Sector Support and Development Program, ensuring older people receive quality care.
  • Growing our reach through Seniors Month, engaging more than 30,000 participants across 1,200 community events.

These milestones reflect the dedication of our staff, volunteers, partners and the communities we serve.
