National Seniors Australia (NSA) highlights the importance of protecting the human rights of older people in Australia.
NSA identifies gaps and shortcomings in the current human rights framework, particularly in areas such as aged care, health care, employment, and economic security.
NSA calls for urgent consideration by the Parliamentary Committee to address these issues and improve rights protections for older persons.
NSA supports the establishment of a new federal Human Rights Act and the creation of a United Nations Convention on the Human Rights of Older Persons.
The submission emphasizes the need to combat ageism and ensure that human rights do not diminish with age.
NSA offers to discuss their proposals further with the Committee and provides contact information for inquiries.
