It's time to take control and feel more confident about beating scams. This webinar features the latest information, tips, and advice from the ACCC's National Anti-Scam Centre on how older Australians can stay safe, protect their data and confidently engage online.
Webinar – Reimagining Volunteering
23 May 2024
We couldn’t do our work at COTA NSW without our volunteers who generously give their time and expertise.
Volunteering provides enormous social and economic benefits to NSW, with the Centre for Volunteering reporting that in 2023 4.3 million people contributed an estimated $178 billion of value.
So what does volunteering look like in 2024 and beyond?
In celebration of National Volunteers Week, we discuss the challenges and opportunities for the sector, as we explore the 2024 theme of Something for Everyone.
Webinar – Falls Prevention and Awareness
24 April 2024
Did you know that research has found that exercise of any type has been shown to reduce the risk of falling by 23%?
The Better Balance for Fall Prevention campaign aims to help Australians find appropriate exercise programs to meet your needs and interests. For optimal physical and mental health, it is recommended that all adults (regardless of age, health, orability) do 30-60min of physical activity most days.
To mark April Falls Awareness month, we explore the latest research and information on staying active and preventing falls.
Webinar – The Highs and Lows of Pet Ownership
29 February 2024
In 2023, national animal welfare charity Companion Animal Network Australia completed a Survey on the Status of Pets in Aged Care facilities and at home.
The results tell us that 86% of older adults with pets, experience improved mental and physical health.
This month we'll be discussing how owning pets impacts us physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually as we age.
