Warm Safe Home project

Seniors Rights Victoria and COTA Victoria encourage you to take part in our Beyond Age project and create your very own storyboard.

Please use the form below to upload a photo of your younger self, alongside a photo of you today, then provide advice to your younger self about getting older.

Once complete, we’ll receive your submission and work to create your Beyond Age storyboard. When ready, it will appear alongside others in our Beyond Age online exhibition.

We reserve the right not to process storyboards with imagery or text that we deem inappropriate, not in the spirit of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, or not in the spirit of the COTA Victoria Code of Conduct. We may also need to amend your quote for content or to fit our storyboard; amendments will be clearly marked.
