This initiative will equip staff with the skills and knowledge needed to take action against elder abuse.
Forming the core of the partnership, Seniors Rights Victoria and Safe and Equal will use their subject matter expertise in elder abuse and family violence prevention and intervention to develop and deliver tailored training and resources to approximately 1,400 employees of The Orange Door, alongside specialist family violence case managers.
“This program will be a key part in ensuring that the family violence system can meet the needs of elder abuse victim survivors,” said CEO of Seniors Rights Victoria and COTA Victoria, Ben Rogers.
