Elder abuse awareness

Last Wednesday 15 June was World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

Elder abuse can happen in any kind of family or relationship. It can range from a person not considering an older person’s needs to someone intentionally causing harm.

If you, or someone you know is experiencing elder abuse, help is available through the Seniors Rights Victoria confidential helpline on 1300 368 821 10am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

Elder abuse takes many forms.
