This guide informs how to identify the indicators, how to report elder abuse, and the legal access points when one has to act.
Elder abuse is an issue that is increasing among individuals, families and communities in Australia.
As loved ones grow old, they might be more susceptible to mistreatment - physical, emotional, financial, or even neglect.
It is crucial to know what to do in the event of reporting of elder abuse, not only to ensure that the affected individual is not endangered unnecessarily, but also to defend their rights and dignity.
