Welcome to COTA NT
As the Peak Body for seniors in the Territory, COTA (NT) is dedicated to protecting and promoting the well being of Territorians aged 50 years and over and Indigenous Territorians aged 45 years and over. The Northern Territory Government provides financial support to assist COTA (NT) in fulfilling its policy, consultation, representation and information dissemination roles.
Project delivery
COTA (NT) delivers projects which assist Territory seniors, with funding provided by various organisations. Our current projects include provision of assistance to seniors from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds through the Commonwealth Government's Partners in Culturally Appropriate Aged Care (PICAC) program and the Northern Territory Government's Office of Ethnic Affairs; and Peer Education programs funded by the National Prescribing Service (Seniors Quality Use of Medicines, Generic Medicines) and beyondblue (Beyond maturityblues).
During December 2007 we completed the successful Falls Prevention & Mobility and "Sweet Dreams" Peer Education programs which were funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing.
We are currently working on the development of several other projects which we believe will be of benefit to Territory seniors. Details of these projects will be published on our web site as soon as they are available.
