Seniors Rights Victoria only has capacity to respond to calls from older people experiencing or at risk of elder abuse. If your matter is an emergency, please call 000. If you are a concerned friend or family member, please encourage the older person to call us or click here for access to information and resources.
Professionals, staff and workers who have direct contact with older people are in an important position to identify elder abuse and support those being abused.
Seniors Rights Victoria has a history of supporting organisations and service providers to respond to elder abuse through free secondary consultations and professional education sessions.
We can assist in identifying and responding to abuse, assessing risk, providing referral information, safety planning and working respectfully with an older person, who is being abused.
To speak with our advocates or lawyers please contact the Helpline between 10:00am and 5:00pm Monday to Friday.
If you are in Victoria and are experiencing or at risk of elder abuse, help is available through our confidential helpline on 1300 368 821.
If you are a concerned friend or family member, please encourage the older person to call us or you can access information and resources here. You can also find a lawyer via the Law Institute of Victoria website.
