Through advocacy and action, we’re helping shape a future where all Tasmanians can age well—no matter who they are or where they live
We envision a Tasmania where everyone is treated with respect, kindness, and dignity, and where ageing is a time of opportunity, contribution, and celebration. Our mission is to challenge ageism and advocate for the rights, interests, and value of all Tasmanians as they age.
Our values shape how we work. We respect the experiences and choices of older Tasmanians and support their right to feel safe and included. We embrace diversity, welcome different perspectives, and value collaboration—with older people, our partners, and the community. We act with trust, always open, honest, and guided by evidence and ethics.
