Dave,
Unfortunately, there is no age discrimination legislation in
Switzerland, where Ramsar is based. Having looked at the conditions of
employment, they also discriminate against married people; no spouse
or children allowed. There is also no accommodation options, you must
only live in a Ramsar provided studio apartment. The net wage, approx.
AUD 500 per week, would not go far in Switzerland either. You would
have to be young and keen to put up with what they want from you and
what you would gain from it.

would I think be illegal in Australia.
