A sports club wants to restrict participation in competitions to youngsters, while a community centre at the local retirement village wants to organise a festive event titled 'grandads race to the sea'.
Each is entitled to seek an exemption for age. Grandmothers may object, resisting their apparent exclusion. Alternatively, the Paraplegic Games can request an exemption to organise sporting events for competitors with disabilities.
In recognition of the deep history and culture of this island, Equal Opportunity Tasmania acknowledge and pay my respects to all Tasmanian Aboriginal people; the past and present custodians of the Land.
Equal Opportunity Tasmania’s Reflective Action Plan is the first step in our commitment to having a culturally safe workplace. Our plan allows for gaining a greater understanding and knowledge of Aboriginal Peoples, their culture and individual and collective experiences. We are committed to developing further plans that focus on fostering external respectful relationships with the Tasmanian Aboriginal community and providing a service that is culturally respectful and welcoming.
