Australia's Age Discrimination Commissioner has called on organisations providing services to older people to deliver ageism awareness training to their staff, with new research showing it can be highly effective in shifting attitudes. The Australian Human Rights Commission surveyed aged care and community workers before and after undertaking a training session, which covered several topics relating to ageism. A follow-up survey conducted 2-3 months after participants attended a single, 2.5-hour session, found that 90% had rethought the way they communicate with older people.
