Facing the future — A baseline profile on older Tasmanians

Th is major piece of research has been conducted by a team of people over 2012 and 2013 to provide greater insight into older Tasmanians. COTA Tasmania (Council on the Ageing) is the leading voice for older Tasmanians and as such it is timely and significant that as an organisation it can be involved in such an important piece of work. The picture of an ageing Tasmania is not all ‘ doom and gloom ’ ; it is a story of a dynamic State and society that can contribute to meaningful lives for older Tasmanians and whe re likewise older Tasmanians can contribute, participate and remain socially connected.
