The AAG VIC Division invites you to a presentation on: Law, Mediation and the Wellbeing of Older People: Dealing with Elder Abuse
Older people comprise a growing sector of vulnerable members of our society. There is an increasing awareness of elder abuse and the suffering it is causing older people. It occurs across all levels of society. Older people living in private homes, as well as in residential aged care, are experiencing various forms of elder abuse, the most common being financial abuse.
How to deal with elder abuse is not clear cut. The main perpetrators of elder abuse are usually known to the older person. Often, they are close family members. As a society, we are grappling with the ways of dealing with elder abuse.
