Elder abuse is often hidden away. But service providers working with Queensland Police and other non-government organisations are raising awareness by holding events and talking about it.
This helps our community recognise the signs of elder abuse through information calling out the behaviour of those committing it.
Join STAR Community Services, supported by Queensland Police Service, to mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day by attending the Beyond Age event.
Please wear purple to show your support.
The Qld Parliament’s Education, Arts and Communities Committee will host a public hearing immediately following the main event from 1pm – 3pm.
Featuring guest speakers:
Wendy Bourne member for Parliament West Ipswich
STAR Community Services
Live Up
United Care Elder Abuse Prevention Unit
