Applications are now open for five Tasmanians with lived experience of ageing to join the Older Tasmanians Ministerial Advisory Council (the Council).
The Council has been established as a reference point for the Tasmanian Government on issues affecting older Tasmanians. This will include the priority areas in A Respectful, Age-Friendly Island: Older Tasmanians Action Plan 2025-2029 (the Action Plan).
Consistent with the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ definition and the Aged Care Act 2024, an older person is aged 65 and over, or aged 50 and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Applications are encouraged from older Tasmanians in regional and remote areas, older Tasmanian Aboriginal people, culturally and linguistically diverse Tasmanians, LGBTIQA+ Tasmanians and Tasmanians living with disability.
Older Tasmanians from regional and remote areas of the state are strongly encouraged to apply.
