COTA Queensland: Queensland Government Budget 2026/27

Four older adults—two men and two women—are seated around a wooden table in a sunlit, bustling cafe, engaged in an animated discussion. On the table sit coffee cups, a teapot, and two folded copies of The Courier-Mail newspaper, with only portions of the mastheads visible. The group appears focused and expressive as they converse, with a warm, natural daytime light filling the cafe background.

COTA Queensland welcomes investment in health, housing and cost-of-living relief in the 2026–27 Queensland Budget, while highlighting the need for stronger action to protect older people from abuse and mistreatment.
