Big changes are coming to aged care in Australia, which will have a direct impact on people living with dementia, their families and carers.



From 1 November 2025, the new Aged Care Act will reshape how care is delivered - putting older people's rights and needs first.



Join COTA Australia - for older Australians and the Older Persons Advocacy Network (OPAN) for free community information sessions to learn what the reforms mean for you and get your questions answered.



Sessions are happening in-person in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin & Gold Coast throughout September-October.



And if you can't make it in person, you can join the events online.

Wednesday’s therapy started like this👇😍

Cooking playdough at a client’s house to work on hand skills 🖐️ (like pouring, stiring and kneading), then using it to make silly characters showing different emotions! A fun opportunity to explore how our bodies look and feel when we feel different ways.

An OT cannot simply ignore quirky grabrails on holidays 😉 Check out these beauties spotted in the Gascoyne & Murchison region! 📸

Quirky? ✅
Functional? Maybe??

We think the rail in photo 1 is an upcycled gate from the station. What do you think?

Fun holiday snaps aside, our experienced OTs can advise on accurate placement of off the shelf grab rails, and design customised rails to meet your specific needs and adhere to Australian Standards where required.

This is not about sunburn.

It's about trying to desensitise our kids to distressing sensory input.

We don't desensitise.
We educate.
We accommodate.

Yes?
