How advocacy works

We engage with older Australians in many ways.

We use a range of engagement processes to develop campaigns that resonate with older Australians and use these campaigns to lobby government to introduce changes that make a difference for you.

The primary means of engaging with older Australians is through the National Seniors website.

Here you will find information about our advocacy campaigns and activities and opportunities to get involved in campaigns. Various surveys, polls, petitions and focus groups will be featured on the website as part of our advocacy campaigns.

We will also send you invitations to participate in other advocacy activities, such as focus groups.

Policy Advisory Groups
