Australia’s population is ageing, but with enhanced health prospects and insufficient retirement funds, and
industries impacted by a dwindling itinerate manual labour supply, workers will want, and may need, to remain
in the workforce for longer. This research, Enabling an Ageing Workforce, recognises the issues facing the older worker across a range of
different workplace contexts, This project investigates safeness within specific industries to identify areas of concern, opportunities for intervention, and design solutions.
