DISCLAIMER, further to the podcast discussion about what makes a peak body.  I'd like to thank COTA SA for providing this information. 

COTA are the peak body for people aged 50 and over in South Australia.  COTA SA has been operational since 1957 and represents the rights, interests and futures of the more than 700,000 older South Australians.  Rich in diversity and expertise, the COTA SA Board, staff and volunteers are as diverse as the people we work with and for, to ensure that older communities are heard, represented and included in our advocacy, programs and services. We receive peak body funding from the South Australian Government, along with funding from other sources for our programs and services.  Here is more information about us; https://cotasa.org.au/about-us 

COTA SA differs from ARAS in that we advocate to Governments and other decision makers on behalf of all older people in South Australia to ensure voices, experiences and needs are heard and considered in legislation, policy, service design and development, both in South Australia, and nationally through COTA Australia.  ARAS provides an advocacy support service to individual older people or their representatives who are receiving aged care, living in a retirement village or at risk of or experiencing abuse from family or friends, to uphold their rights and responsibilities. https://www.sa.agedrights.asn.au/
