Why Older People Struggle Under Current Migration Policies

In this video, “Why Older Australians Struggle Under Current Migration Policies,” I share my first-hand experience on how Australia’s migration policy is impacting the daily lives, workplaces, and retirement prospects of people over 45. If you’re an older Australian facing ageism in the job market, struggling to secure work, or worried about your quality of life in retirement, this discussion is for you.

We’ll look at how migration policies affect employment opportunities, housing, and community life, while highlighting the challenges that older Australians encounter when trying to stay employed or prepare for retirement. Many over 45 feel overlooked, undervalued, and pushed aside while policies continue to reshape the workforce.

This video is part of my ongoing series covering workplace issues, retirement struggles, and the growing problem of age discrimination in hiring. By combining personal stories and broader trends, I want to give a voice to older workers who are being left behind in today’s Australia.

Being laid off / retrenched twice in your late 50s is something that is hard to restart. No one wants to give you a job. In fact apart from a few small companies also owned by older people, I have almost zero chance of getting a job. I've decided to abandon what I have experience in... 35+ years as a programmer and try and follow other creative adventures. So far, it's all fun and interesting to a limited degree, but no income is coming in, so the stress of my future is always eating at my conscious. To be honest, people don't care for my opinion or advice because you're old and you are seen as someone who should just keep quiet and retire. That's easy if your loaded with money. I'm not.

Losing your job the same week that Covid restrictions started was hard. More than hard, I mean impossible to get a job. That's for a person like me in their 60's.

I'm getting to the point financially where If I make a slip-up it's quite possible I'll end up homeless permanently.

I have a lot of things to say, but I don't know who wants to listen and on what topic. Please let me know!
