COTA NT is a not-for-profit community and member organisation acting as the peak body for seniors in the Northern Territory. Founded in 1969, it has been dedicated to promoting seniors’ well-being in the Territory for over 50 years and we lead government, corporate and community thinking about the positive aspects of ageing.

Our advocacy aims to effect positive social change, promote opportunities for, and protect the rights of, older Territorians and ensure seniors’ voices continue to be heard on issues important to them.
