Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place - Age Discrimination in Australia

New research from the Australian Human Rights Commission reveals a shocking truth: employers are crying out for workers while systematically excluding them based on age. 

Key findings show only 56% of employers will hire 50-64 year olds, dropping to 28% for those 65+, while just 41% are open to hiring 15-24 year olds. 

Even more concerning - 24% of HR professionals now classify workers over 50 as "older," up 10% from 2023!

Jane explores why this research is important to mid-career professionals, and shares strategies mature Australian workers can use to navigate this challenging landscape with confidence.
