How Does TRCOTA Work?

For example, TRCOTA may approach a supermarket regarding lighting of an exit to a car park at night, or as was the case some years ago, in approaching the Council to provide a bus stop in Elizabeth Street when Stocklands Shopping Centre expanded.
TRCOTA promotes and engages in research of matters concerning older people in order to provide creditable argument for change to the relevant decision makers and the community in general.
As a member of TRCOTA you are invited to attend monthly meetings and voice your concerns. You will also receive "Voice of Seniors" a bi monthly newsletter with useful details of various matters concerning our older generation.
