Australia plans a national Human Rights Act to combat age discrimination in key areas and support older people’s rights.
Australia is advancing plans for a national Human Rights Act to protect older people from age-based discrimination in employment, housing, healthcare, and aged care.
The proposed law would establish enforceable rights, ensure access to services, and require reasonable adjustments and complaint mechanisms.
It aims to promote inclusion, respect, and participation for older Australians, especially those from diverse backgrounds.
The government is also supporting the UN’s effort to create a binding Convention on the Rights of Older Persons.
Over 20 civil society groups have called for the legislation, citing widespread demand for legal protections against ageism and systemic inequities.
