Too old to hire? Busting the age myth in recruitment
Age discrimination remains one of the most persistent, often overlooked and still socially acceptable prejudice in recruitment. Despite evidence showing that older workers bring adaptability, loyalty, and deep expertise, many recruiters and employers still assume that age is a barrier to performance, innovation, or cultural fit.
APSCo Australia has recently launched the Age Inclusive Recruiter Program, in partnership with AgeInc. This initiative is designed to support recruitment businesses in addressing age bias and embedding age-inclusive practices across their hiring processes.
To support the launch, APSCO is hosting an Age Inclusive Recruiter Program Webinar to challenge those age myths head-on, exploring the data behind ageism in recruitment and showcasing the business benefits of building truly age-inclusive hiring practices.
Bias is across the hiring landscape and ageism isn't just about being ‘too old’, it's about being perceived as ‘too different’ from the mythical 35-year-old ideal worker
While everyone obsesses over teaching Gen Z to code, the real skill gap is in critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and institutional knowledge – areas where older workers excel but younger workers desperately need development, flipping the traditional "digital native" narrative on its head.
Today’s workplace spans from Silent Generation consultants to Gen Alpha interns, creating an unprecedented biological and cultural diversity that most organisations are fumbling to harness rather than strategically leverage as their secret competitive advantage.
Modern ageism filters out both overqualified experience and underqualified youth, creating a narrow hiring band that excludes most of the available talent and perpetuates workforce homogeneity. So, what are we going to do about it?

Agenda 2025 was Australia's first conference dedicated to tackling age discrimination in the workplace.
The event brought together industry leaders, policymakers, economists, and advocates to tackle the pervasive issue of age discrimination. The conference featured a keynote from the Age Discrimination Commissioner, an expert-led panel discussion, 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.
With a focus on both policy and practical solutions, Agenda 2025 aspired to set a new benchmark for workplace inclusivity in Australia, driving meaningful change towards a more age-diverse workforce by 2030 and beyond.

Talent shortages are growing, but a multigenerational workforce holds the key.
Ageism is often described as the last socially accepted form of discrimination. Yet, increasing numbers of workers are wanting to stay in the workforce well beyond the traditional retirement age, bringing invaluable skills and experience with them.
Embracing age-diversity isn’t just a matter of combatting ageism – it’s crucial for business success. By fostering an age-inclusive workforce, you’ll not only improve employee retention but also expand your talent pool, boost productivity and enhance innovation.
In this webinar, hosted by ReadyTech, we’ll explore the importance of age inclusivity in the workplace and how building a multigenerational workforce can give your business a competitive edge.
