Editor's Notes
- I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land we’re meeting on today and their Elders past, present and emerging, other distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.
- Queensland’s population is ageing. This is as a result of sustained low fertility (despite an increase in births in recent years), increasing life expectancy and the movement of the large baby boomer cohort (those born 1946-01965) into the older age groups. There are proportionally fewer persons within each five-year age group up to 45-49 years of age compared with 20 years ago. While overall the proportion of the population aged 15-64 remained stable between 1993 and 2013 the proportion of the population aged 65 year or older increased from 11.0% to 13.6% over this period.
- This is a national trend but it is not just an Australian phenomenon. The world’s population is rapidly ageing. From 2000 to 2050 the number of people aged 60 years and older is expected to triple from 600 million to 2 billion. By 2050 it is predicted that about 22% of the world’s population will be aged 60 years or older. The extra years of life afforded to us in the 21st century are a condition never before experienced by humanity. The longevity revolution forces us to abandon existing notions of old age and retirement. These social constructs are quite simply unsustainable in the face of an additional 30 years of life.
- ‘Active Ageing’ is defined as ‘the process of optimising opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance the quality of life as people age’.
- COTA Queensland was founded by the community at a public meeting chaired by the Administrator of Queensland Sir Alan Mansfield in 1957. This public meeting decided that a body, known as the Old People’s Welfare Council of Queensland, be formed herewith, and that all organisations which include in their objects the care of the aged, be invited to become members of the Council. Later we changed our name but remain a not-for-profit Public Benevolent Institute. Currently we provide the Seniors Peak Service to the State Government, manage Seniors Week in Queensland and work with key stakeholders, including consumers , to identify barriers and gaps in service provision for Home & Community Care (HACC) clients and carers. Next month we will begin rolling out sessions to assist consumers understand the transition to Consumer Directed Care under the Commonwealth Home Support Programme.
- Controlling my own life: making the most of CDC
- We draw upon the United Nations Principles for Older Persons and the World Health Organisation's Active Ageing policy framework to respond to national, state and local issues affecting people as they age. Our aim is to co-create an Age-friendly Queensland by developing policies and services which improve the health, security and participation of older people. Our policy positions are informed by community engagement, research and advocacy. We strive to influence government legislation and policies, as well as community attitudes, to facilitate social change and provide leadership and expert advice on ageing issues. As Peter mentioned we are seeking to supplement the current Policy Committee’s experience and capacity, to ensure the most effective advocacy for Queenslanders as they age. In particular, expressions of interest are sought from individuals with skills, knowledge, experience and networks relating to: Cost of Living Health and Aged care Housing Mature age employment Transport
- We have extensive consultation processes and will be seeking from you how we can enhance our consultation to ensure that we are hearing the needs of older people throughout the state and representing them to Government. In the past we have held regional Have Your Say or Seniors Voice Forums and we will resume these this year. We represent the interests of older people on and provides advice through a wide range of government and community organisations including: Advisory Council to Energy and Water Ombudsman Queensland Ergon Energy Customer Council Minister for Energy Reference Group Ministerial Taskforce on Health Practitioner Expanded Scope of Practice Older Driver Safety Advisory Committee Public Transport Advisory Group, chaired by Assistant Transport Minister Queensland Health Clinical Workforce Board Queensland Injury Prevention Network Queensland Action for Universal Housing Design Statewide Older Person's Health Clinical Network
- Today we are launching a new monthly e-newsletter COTA AGENDA to keep you informed about COTA Queensland's Seniors Peak Service. Each month subscribers will receive information about State Government programs, policies and priorities for older people, articles and referrals to assist you to build the capacity of your organisation and news about how COTA is advancing the rights needs and interests of people as they age in Queensland.
- Members of the Roundtable include representatives of the following organisations - Alzheimer's Association Queensland; Alzheimer's Australia, Queensland; Blue Care Continence Advisory Service; Carers Queensland; Diversicare; Lifetec; Ozcare Dementia Advisory and Support Service; Parkinson's Queensland Inc; Queensland Aged and Disability Advocacy; Queensland Meals on Wheels; Synapse (formerly Brain Injury Association of Queensland); Technical Aid to the Disabled Queensland and Vision Australia.
- COTA Queensland was the successful tenderer for the period 2014-2016 and commencing this year we have been funded to: Input into the development and implementation of policies, programs and priorities for older people; Disseminate information about Government initiatives for older people; and Build the capacity of NGOs to deliver quality services to older people. So, how do we plan to do it? One of the key ways COTA works to achieve change is through making submissions to inquiries, consultative processes and providing comments on policy ideas coming from Government and other stakeholders. Some recent examples include: The Queensland Plan, a 30-year vision for Queensland COTA Queensland 2014-2015 State Budget submission Taxi Subsidy Scheme Review Review of the Retirement Villages Act 1999 Queensland Parliament Health and Community Services Committee Inquiry into Palliative Care and Home and Community Care We have contributed to HACC/ Community Care policy and planning for many years and continue to do so.
- We will disseminate information about initiatives for older people
- COTA Queensland has a proud history of building the capacity of organisations to improve the outcomes of older people. Among the organisations auspiced by COTA Queensland are senior citizens clubs; Aged Care Queensland (now LASA-Q), Meals on Wheels, Older Women's Network, U3A, Volunteering Queensland and most recently Health Consumers Queensland.
- Today I’ll provide some basic information about Council on the Ageing (COTA) Queensland; some statistics about Queensland’s and the world’s ageing population leading to what is being called a Longevity Revolution and then what can and should be done to support this growing proportion of our population.
