Willing to Work: National Inquiry into Employment Discrimination against Older Australians and Australians with Disability Submission No 18 Name Margaret Anne Ryan Submission made by Older Australian who is not working and does not wish to work Submission regarding Older Australians Your experience Have you (or the person you are submitting on behalf of) experienced employment discrimination? Yes No Not sure Did you take any action in relation to the employment discrimination you experienced? Yes No Please tell us more, for example, what action you took and how effective you felt it was; or why you chose not to take any action. I suffered discrimination when I was only in my late fourties as I applied for jobs at different nurseries just watering plants or pulling out weeds or general stuff and they wanted people who studying horticultural stuff or had a horticultural degree. I only wanted part time work or casual work as my late husband was in and out of hospital and therefore by working as part time or casual I could have handled both. Did your experience of employment discrimination impact on your participation in the workforce? (For example, did you have to stop work, change jobs or take sick leave?)
