The three publications below have been produced by the Office of the Anti-Discrimination Commissioner, written in a narrative-style with real stories provided by real people in the Tasmanian community.
It must be acknowledge that without the contributions of the participants each publication could not have been such a unique, informative and inspiring read.
"In 'Who said I can't...' we learn about how ordinary lives can become shattered in a simple moment. We gain an appreciation of how through an individual's spirit, willpower and at times sheer bloody mindedness their life becomes an extra-ordinary one."
The 'Who said I can't...' publication is available to purchase from the office at a below cost price of $20.00 gst inclusive.
A Word version of the publication can be viewed on the 'Who said I can't...' page.
"The reality is, like it or not, that we will grow older and our individual journeys through the ageing process will be as varied as our personalities.
The stories, messages and insights offered through the publication are many and varied. Each narrative offers the reader a glimpse into another person's world, as it has been, and as it is today.
I hope that the publication inspires younger people to think about themselves and realise that when they are older they will want to be thought of as a person who has lived a life, gained years of knowledge, had adventures and lived through a lifetime of joys, sorrows and personal growth". Sarah Bolt, Anti-Discrimination Commissioner.
The 'Age-coming to a body near you' (PDF) publication is available to download or a hard copy can be purchased from the Office at a below cost price of $15.00 gst inclusive.
"Stories of a journey is a series of vignettes, written in the words and style of each participant thus creating a unique and individualized perspective of the issues and experiences faced by new arrivals". Sarah Bolt, Anti-Discrimination Commissioner.
Artwork on the cover of the booklet was created by Claire Hadrill, Mt Carmel College student.
The 'Stories of a Journey' publication is available to download or a hard copy can be purchased from the Office at the below cost price of $10.00 gst inclusive.
