ABOUT SCOA

SCOA is one of the oldest volunteer bodies in Australia. From modest beginnings in NSW in 1922, it has evolved as a not-for-profit national organisation principally financed by member fees and donations.

Volunteers provide assistance for fellow members and their partners on a range of matters. They operate through branches in all States and in the ACT.

Branch representatives meet as a Federal Council twice yearly to determine SCOA policies and priorities. A Canberra-based National Secretariat, supported by volunteers, provides advocacy and representational services and information to members and also supports the work of all SCOA Branches and the Federal Council.

A quarterly national newsletter, SuperTime, reports on a range of matters and is mailed or e-mailed to members free of charge. Most branches also mail out local newsletters to their members reporting on local issues.
