Facing the Future provided a comprehensive, contemporary and credible baseline profile of Tasmanians aged 60+ from diverse regional and cultural backgrounds using data from the 2012 Census.
As Tasmania's workforce becomes older, employers need to consider how to support older workers to remain engaged to retain and share knowledge, and promote age diverse and inclusive workplaces.
This research was commissioned by the Federation of nine Councils on the Ageing (COTA) across Australia – including all eight COTA state and territory organisations and COTA Australia – in order to understand the views, life experiences and needs of Australians aged 50+.
COTA Tasmania prepared a submission to the Willing To Work: National Inquiry into Employment Discrimination against Older Australians and Australians with Disability.
