Federal Budget 2018-19 Pre-Budget Positioning Statement

October 2017 - COTA Australia welcomes the opportunity to provide brief comments to the Senate Inquiry into the digital delivery of government services.

July 2017 - COTA opposes the Bill, just as we opposed the 2016 Budget Measure, because removing access to the very modest Energy Supplement for new income support recipients and pensioners will impact negatively and inequitably on those least able to bear it, including older people.

June 2017 - COTA Australia welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Treasury consultation on Development of the Framework for Comprehensive Income Products for Retirement (CIPRs).
