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.
