Seniors Rights Victoria (SRV) and Better Health Network (BHN) have formed a Health Justice Partnership that provides SRV’s expertise in elder abuse intervention and prevention to older Victorians receiving care from BHN, all made possible through funding from the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner’s Grants Program.
As part of the partnership, SRV will deliver specialised training in recognising and responding to elder abuse, and will be operating an on-site advice clinic at BHN’s South Melbourne location. The clinic will provide advice on elder abuse and related matters such as intervention orders, guardianship, administration and care arrangements, family agreements, powers of attorney, debts, and property disputes.
Older people attending BHN can drop into the advice clinic as needed and its trained professionals will be able to fast-track referrals to access SRV’s free legal service.
