This project will raise awareness in the community of the extent, or lack thereof, of age discrimination in the Australian labour market. This is particularly important as no other investigations of this nature have been made. The findings will provide a valuable and important complement to the surveys of employer's attitudes towards older workers. There will be policy implications for the structure and operation of anti-discrimination legislation in Australia. The technique of using written applications to apply for jobs can highlight deficiencies in the current legislation and ways in which the legislation can be modified to make it more effective.

该项目将提高社区对澳大利亚劳动力市场中年龄歧视的程度或不存在年龄歧视的认识。这一点特别重要，因为没有进行过其他这类性质的调查。调查结果将为雇主对老年工人态度的调查提供宝贵和重要的补充。这将对澳大利亚反歧视立法的结构和运作产生政策影响。使用书面申请来申请工作的方法可以突出现行立法中的不足之处，以及如何修改立法使之更加有效。
