What do we need to age well in NSW? A panel of COTA NSW lived experience experts discuss the topic with input from our 2024 AGM audience.

Grandparents have always been important to families. But during a cost of living crisis and with affordable and accessible childcare still out of reach for many, the role of the modern grandparent has taken on even greater significance.

In the first event in a series celebrating the 2025 NSW Seniors Festival, COTA NSW presents a keynote address and panel discussion on the importance of planning for retirement. The conversation covers insights from research, the benefits of a purposeful approach, and effective strategies and resources for planning or reassessing your retirement.

This dynamic session brings together voices from across generations to tackle ageism and celebrate the strengths of experience. Age Discrimination Commissioner Robert Fitzgerald AM delivers an insightful keynote, followed by a panel conversation with Varsha Yajman and Jane Caro AM, who discuss the impact of ageism, share stories of resilience and speak to how we can challenge age-related stereotypes.

In this webinar, we talk about relationships. The good and the bad and how to navigate especially tricky ones at this time of year in the lead-up to the festive and holiday season.
