As we publicly release the Industry Brief on Ageing – Edition 1 (July–September 2024) for the first time, we’re pleased to share a summary resource that not only captures trends but also distils the realities facing older people and the sector that supports them.

At Council on the Ageing (COTA) Queensland, we have spent over 60 years working alongside older people, advocating for their rights, needs, and futures. Our latest What Matters Most: Pulse Survey 2025 highlights we should not ignore the views of older Queenslanders. They are not whispering their concerns — older people are speaking loud and clear in this survey, calling for action on the issues that matter most.
