Elder Abuse & the Mistreatment of Older People - enhancing policy & regulatory protections

The UTS Ageing Research Collaborative (UARC) will hold an invite-only Law Policy & Research Exchange Forum for selected professionals.

Last updated: 16 November 2025

The purpose of this forum is to explore where there are research gaps on elder abuse and the mistreatment of older people.

The focus will be on inter-personal drivers of elder abuse and barriers to intervention, and legislative and policy changes that could interrupt those drivers and overcome the barriers.

The discussions will be used to inform UARC’s research priorities and its development of evidence-based solutions to these complex issues.

The forum will bring together subject matter experts from state and federal government, legal practitioners and peak bodies.

More details, including on the agenda & key speakers, will be distributed before the event.

This is an invite-only event and starts with lunch. Please reach out to us with any questions at insightadmin@uts.edu.au

Please register by the 13th November.
