Digital inclusion is about ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to connect, participate, and benefit from the digital world in their everyday lives.

Our Strategic Plan 2025-2030: We improve the lives of Victorians as they age: by championing the strengths, desires, and decisions of older people.

Over a three-week consultation, 151 Victorians shared their views on investment gaps and opportunities to improve infrastructure and services that support positive ageing. 80% of responders were aged 65+.

Many older Victorians continue to face unfair treatment simply because of their age. This member briefing explains what age discrimination is, how common it is, the laws that protect against it, and what more might needs to be done to prevent it.

As part of the Victorian Seniors Festival 2025, COTA Victoria and Seniors Rights Victoria, in collaboration with Leadership Victoria and Volunteering Victoria, celebrated older Victorians stepping into leadership roles and making a difference in their communities.

The Victorian Government has launched Until every Victorian is Safe: Third Rolling Action Plan (RAP) to End Family and Sexual Violence 2025–2027 as part of its commitment to building a future where every person is safe, respected, and free from violence.

Our Policy & Advocacy team has been actively exploring how older Victorians experience social connectedness and how we can better support those who feel isolated or disconnected.

This guide has been developed to support practitioners, policymakers, and organisations across various sectors. These include family violence, aged care, disability, legal, health, housing, and social services, all working to adopt an intersectional approach to elder abuse prevention and response.

Our project highlights mixed experiences, hopes and concerns about aged care reform among multicultural CHSP providers.

Older Victorians with disability are being systematically under served by existing policy and service frameworks. While the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has improved the lives of many younger people with disability, those who acquire or live with disability beyond the NDIS age threshold are often excluded from comparable levels of support.

The 2025-26 State Budget was handed down by Treasurer Jaclyn Symes yesterday, 20 May 2025.
