Join us on 19 August for Agenda 2025 is Australia's first conference dedicated to reducing the reach and impact of age discrimination in the workplace.  Agenda 2025 is dedicated to addressing and reducing age discrimination in the workplace. The event brings together industry leaders, policymakers, economists, and advocates to tackle the pervasive issue of age discrimination.

The conference will feature keynote speakers, expert-led panel discussions, and thought-provoking sessions aimed at identifying the root causes of age discrimination and developing actionable strategies to create more inclusive and equitable work environments. Agenda 2025 serves as a platform for sharing best practices, presenting new research, and fostering collaboration among organisations committed to promoting age diversity, and eliminating age bias from hiring, retention, and workplace culture.

With a focus on both policy and practical solutions, Agenda 2025 aspires to set a new benchmark for workplace inclusivity in Australia, driving meaningful change towards a more age-diverse workforce by 2030 and beyond.
