International Older Persons Day

Community Options Australia recognises 1 October as International Older Persons Day.

The theme for 2021 is “Digital Equity for All Ages” which affirms the need for access and meaningful participation in the digital world by older persons. Through its partner network and business model COA actively supports digital access.

COA also supports The Australian Human Rights Commission elder abuse awareness campaign being launched today. https://humanrights.gov.au/about/news/media-releases/commission-launches-elder-abuse-awareness-campaign
