ROPA is comprised of those civil society organisations, individual supporters and advocates who publicly endorse a new UN Convention on the Human Rights of Older Persons.

Members of ROPA are those organisations and individuals who endorse the vision, mission, function and goals of this network.

ROPA’s vision is a world where older persons enjoy all human rights and fundamental freedoms on the basis of equality with persons at all other ages and life stages and in a manner that reflects the particular contexts of older persons’ lives.

ROPA’s mission is to achieve a public commitment of support and decisive action by the Australian Government, both domestically and internationally, for the creation and implementation of a UN Convention on the Human Rights of Older Persons.
