Jon Bisset is the new Executive Director of COTA (NSW).

COTA (NSW) has appointed John Bisset to the position of Executive Director.

Mr Bisset has worked in the not-for-profit sector for almost twenty years, twelve of which have been at a senior executive level.

His main priorities include raising the profile of COTA (NSW) in the ageing community and to develop policy options for the senior workforce, seniors’ housing and aged care.

“We will be working closely in partnership with other organisations to look at the best ways of helping people to achieve their goals, such as staying in their own home, through an increase in HACC packages and by other means.”

Mr Bisset has a Bachelor of Applied Science from Victoria University and is currently undertaking a Masters of Community Management at UTS.
