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.”

Forager Food Co. - Working with plain English
"This project has allowed [our staff] to take on a bigger role within the business ... and it's really given them more confidence in what they're doing, knowing they can work it out for themselves."
Writing in plain English at Houston's Farm
"It's also given us another opportunity to talk about plain English generally, and what that means to the business, and to emphasise that gone are the days that you need to use long words and complicated sentences in a business-related document. The theme is always keep it simple and transfer the message as clearly as possible."
