How advocacy works
Our advocacy activities combine grassroots feedback and top-level research to form an evidence-based lobbying agenda.
Website
The primary means of engaging with older Australians is through the National Seniors website. Here you will find information about our advocacy campaigns and opportunities to get involved. You can also have your say on an issue important to you by completing our online form.
Survey
Every year National Seniors undertakes an in-depth advocacy survey to gauge older people’s thoughts on policy issues. With over 6,000 responses to the most recent survey, this approach forms a crucial part of our engagement strategy.
Evidence-based campaigns
We then develop campaigns that resonate with older Australians and lobby government to introduce changes that make a difference for you.
To learn more about our current priorities, check out our campaigns page.
We are always looking to hear from members and non-members about emerging issues of concern.
If you have an issue of concern that is not featured on our campaigns page, please complete the form below to tell us about it.
If the issue affects you personally, you can even register to share your story through the media. Sharing personal stories is one of the most effective means of getting an issue heard.
This helps us keep abreast of new and emerging issues and improves our advocacy efforts.
