Mature age employment
Using flexible work to attract and retain mature workers.
It makes good business sense to tap into the growing number of older Western Australians who are able and willing to work.
Retaining the talent, skills and experience of mature age employees can reduce the impact of labour and skills shortages. Older workers are vital to the Western Australian workforce and bring a wealth of skills, experience and wisdom built up over many years in employment.
Employers can attract and retain mature workers by providing flexible work options that may be desirable for family reasons, greater health and wellbeing or a different work and lifestyle balance.

Information on a range of flexible work arrangements that could suit mature age workers, such as part time work, phased retirement or working from home is available on the Flexible Work – Practical Initiatives page.
