Women's Health Week, 7-11 September 2026 📅💜

Sign up for Women's Health Week 2026! 💜

📅 7-11 September 2026

Starting next week, we’re focusing on what happens when women choose to back themselves.

Too often, women hear “you can’t”, and we start believing it ourselves.

This September, we’re inviting every woman to, do it anyway, whatever that looks like for you, in your life and on your terms.

💛 Whether it’s starting a new health habit, adding more vegetables to your plate, scheduling a morning walk, or simply taking five minutes for yourself… your health matters.
And every small step counts.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about feeling empowered!

📣 HAVE YOUR SAY 📣
The Tasmanian Government is developing Tasmania's next Road Safety Strategy, and they want to hear from you.

Every death and serious injury on Tasmania's roads has a profound impact on individuals, families and communities. While important progress has been made over time, too many people continue to be killed or seriously injured on our roads. The next Road Safety Strategy will lead efforts to improve road safety and reduce road trauma across Tasmania from 2027 and beyond.

Your feedback will help shape the future direction of road safety in Tasmania and support the shared goal of reducing deaths and serious injuries on our roads.

We all want to feel confident that we can access the healthcare we need as we get older. For many older Australians, private health insurance is an important part of that security.

The Australian Government is considering changes that would remove the higher private health insurance rebate currently available to people aged over 65. The petition calls on the Government to reconsider, as these changes could make cover more expensive for older people, including an estimated 1.2 million pensioners.

Older Australians have made their concerns clear. In COTA Australia’s survey of 2,029 people, 82% opposed the proposed changes, 89% said they were concerned about the impact, and one in three said they were already downgrading, or considering cancelling, their cover.

We know that people have spent years contributing to private health insurance, often to give themselves and their families greater choice and peace of mind. No one should feel pushed out of cover just when they may need it most.

COTA Tasmania stands with older people and urges the Government to listen to the community and reconsider these changes.
