This research project focuses on the abuse and mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander older people. It builds on our knowledge of the nature and prevalence of abuse and mistreatment in the National
Elder Abuse Prevalence Study (Qu et al., 2021) commissioned by the Australian Attorney-General’s Department.
It does this by providing a more nuanced understanding of the nature and dynamics of the abuse and mistreatment experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander older people and how this differs from the general population in the context of ongoing colonialism and systemic racism and discrimination, together with intergenerational trauma.
The project, commissioned by the Australian Attorney-General’s Department, has been led by Professor Victoria Hovane and Ralph Mogridge with the support of the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS).
