Paying the Price: Women, Work and Care

Young researchers

Many women spend considerable periods out of the workforce as unpaid carers,  and approach retirement with less super and fewer savings than their male peers.  Research indicates they increasingly risk homelessness upon retirement.  COTA NSW invites you to attend this Parliamentary Forum to explore how to  ensure Australian women enjoy a more secure older age.

Opened by Minister for Ageing the Hon. John Ajaka, featuring addresses by:

  • Felicity Reynolds, Mercy Foundation
