The Gillard Government today
welcomes the release of the third and final report, Realising the
economic potential of seniors Australians: turning grey into gold,
from the Advisory Panel on the Economic Potential of Senior
Australians. Today's senior Australians are better placed than
earlier generations to live longer healthier lives. As a nation we
are now well positioned to benefit from advances in health care,
improved education opportunities and greater financial security.
The Government welcomes the recommendations of the Advisory Panel
which go toward addressing how individuals, industry and
governments can position Australia to benefit from a larger, more
active population of seniors. The Advisory Panel has made
recommendations across a range of areas including participation,
health, housing and learning. All these areas are vital to enabling
senior Australians to actively contribute to our society. The
report envisages a longer-term campaign to support employers to
identify and secure the benefits of hiring older workers.
