Beautiful sunny day for a gopher trial in Nannup today! We have established relationships with south west equipment suppliers and can help arrange an in home trial. This is particularly handy to ensure that the equipment fits in or around the home where it needs to go, and can make it up and down those pesky Nannup hills!!

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.
