WHO WE ARE 

COA is a not-for-profit volunteer-based organisation for Jewish seniors.

MISSION 

Our mission is to support and enable Jewish seniors to be able to continue living independently in their homes and maintaining quality of life with dignity.

VISION

COA provides a range of services for Jewish seniors of Sydney by providing social interaction, community involvement and access to services for those in need of care in their homes, and a variety of activities specially designed to enhance their health, well-being, and quality of life.

VALUES

  • Family: COA is our members' home away from home. We prioritise a welcoming atmosphere emphasising family, friendship, and community.
  • Culture: COA facilitates our members' connection to a shared Jewish culture and identity
  • Support: COA provides both practical and moral supports to seniors in the community by ensuring they don't go without essential needs, including food, domestic and personal assistance, a financial safety net, and social supports.  We design services so seniors can grow older independently.
  • Care: COA provides a safe environment where people feel respected. We build trust by showing empathy, warmth, and inclusivity.
