COTA Australia congratulates the Law Council of Australia for undertaking this important project into impediments facing disadvantaged Australians in access to justice.
Although COTA does not specialise in legal matters, we are pleased to provide brief comments from our standpoint as a peak organisation representing the interests and rights of older Australians.
