Wise up and rise up for World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

Peel Community Legal Services & Relationships Australia are hosting "Wise Up and Rise Up" to help empower older people, and to mark WEAAD 2025.

Last updated: 6 June 2025

Through expert-led panels, lived experiences, and interactive discussions, we will address elder abuse, its warning signs, and available support.

Sessions will cover financial exploitation, legal protections, and safety in intergenerational living. Engaging activities, including a performance, a free community raffle and a morning tea, will foster participation.

This initiative, in partnership with Relationships Australia WA and other local services, will equip attendees with knowledge and resources to prevent elder abuse, ensuring they feel supported and valued in our community
