The Tasmanian Plan for Positive Ageing - Second Five Year Plan  (PDF, 2 MB)* provides a broad policy framework for actions by the Tasmanian Government, Local Government and individuals to support positive ageing. The second five-year plan also complements the Tasmania Together vision of participation and equal access for all Tasmanians. 

* If you would like to receive a printed copy of the plan please contact the Seniors Bureau.

Within the vision of Tasmania Together are goals that seek to ensure:

• a reasonable lifestyle and standard of living for all Tasmanians (Goal 1)
• confident, friendly and safe communities (Goal 2)
• high quality education and training for lifelong learning and a skilled workforce (Goal 3)
• active, healthy Tasmanians with access to quality and affordable health care services (Goal 4)
• vibrant, inclusive and growing communities where people feel valued and connected (Goal 5)
• open and accountable government that listens and plans for a shared future (Goal 8)
• increased work opportunities for all Tasmanians (Goal 9).

The key role of business and community organisations in developing the plan was acknowledged by their significant input into the consultations and the deliberations of the specialist working parties.

The second Tasmanian Plan for Positive Ageing seeks to raise awareness of the issues associated with an ageing population and encourage the wider community to respond to these challenges.

The plan does not list all services provided by the State Government to older Tasmanians, but presents agency initiatives intended to support and promote positive ageing in line with the findings from the community consultations and the discussions of the specialist working groups.
