COTA surveys
Our friends at COTA Australia are responding to two separate Australian Government inquiries: one on supermarket prices and another on issues related to menopause and perimenopause. Please share this opportunity for input across your networks.
Supermarket prices
A Senate Select Committee on Supermarket Prices has been established to inquire into supermarket price setting practices. The Select Committee wants to hear from Australians to gain their views about:
- How the increase in food and grocery prices (food inflation) is impacting their lives, and
- Whether supermarkets are manipulating these price increases to expand their profit margins.
You can share your comments through an online survey or by email to [email protected] by 23 January 2024.
Menopause and perimenopause
A Senate Community Affairs References Committee into Menopause and Perimenopause is holding a public consultation to understand how issues related to menopause and perimenopause affect workplace participation. It also seeks to understand how workplaces can be more supportive of individuals experiencing symptoms.
To support its submission to the References Committee, COTA Australia plans to hold three online focus groups during the first week of February. Register your interest online or by emailing [email protected] with your full name and the State/Territory where you live.
