Have your say on social isolation and loneliness
COTA QLD is interested in capturing your views and ideas regarding how Queenslanders understand and experience social isolation and loneliness. We will use your contributions to inform COTA Queensland's submission for the Queensland Parliamentary Inquiry into Social Isolation and Loneliness and for our work beyond August 2021.
Social isolation and loneliness can be experienced at any stage in life. These are separate yet interconnected experiences, which may be interrelated with physical, social, emotional, lifestyle or personal factors. These experiences can be difficult to capture due to the individuality of experiences, the varying measurements, or under-reporting of those experiencing social isolation and/or loneliness; particularly loneliness as it is subjective (whereas social isolation is considered objective).
