SCOA aims to be recognised by the Australian community as the premier national body representing former Australian Government employees and their dependants.
In
the 21st century, community and individual aspirations about retirement
will be determined against the background of an ageing population
and labour market impacts, mature age work issues, and regular changes
to legislation, superannuation and taxation arrangements. Individuals
will need to address retirement needs more regularly in a planned
and consistent way than may have been the general practice for past
generations.
SCOA helps its members by focusing on issues relating to:
Superannuation provisions, administration and access (including equal rights and issues specific to women) for Australia’s Commonwealth and Territory Government employees
Maintaining the value of Commonwealth superannuation pensions, especially through appropriate Pension Indexation
Taxation
Seniors’ Concessions
Health and Ageing, with a special interest in Public Dental Health
SCOA monitors development of legislation and policies by Government. It represents the interests of its constituency in various forums. Where appropriate, it lobbies members of Parliament and Government bodies to maintain and improve conditions for Commonwealth superannuants and superannuation contributors.
SCOA also networks with other national and State organisations to exchange views on retirement issues.
