COTA Tasmania, 26Ten member

COTA Tasmania's story

Council on the Ageing (COTA) Tasmania has been a member of the 26Ten Network since 2017.

What it means to be part of the 26Ten Network

“Council on the Ageing (COTA) Tasmania is all too aware of the importance of communicating clearly in our work with people across the state. Being part of this network assists to keep us connected to likeminded organisations and to continue in our learning journey as a team, ensuring we offer accessible and inclusive information and support through our programs and services to older Tasmanians.”

Why is 26Ten important to your organisation

“26Ten helps us to reflect and consider the different audiences we have and the best way to clearly speak to each audience. We share the same values as 26Ten and as an organisation we are committed to being part of the solution to our state’s literacy challenges, as well as make our workplace supportive for all.”

Acknowledgement of Country

26Ten recognises the deep histories and cultures of the Aboriginal people of Lutruwita/Tasmania, the land’s first storytellers. We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land, waters and sky. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present, who hold the memories, traditions, culture and knowledge of Country. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose Countries were never ceded.
