COA is a community based not-for-profit group that delivers services to help frail, aged and those with disability to stay in their own home for as long as practicable. We work with a small paid staff. Click here to see the Staff page. A large group of dedicated volunteers help provide essential daily services to Sydney's Jewish Seniors.

Since its inception in 1982 COA has responded to many thousands of requests for assistance from doctors, social workers, hospitals, family members and seniors seeking ways to improve their lives, continue engaging with their community and manage the inevitable "bumps along the road" we experience when we age.
