Seniors Rights Victoria (SRV) is delighted to welcome you to our new website.
The website is chock full of information for older people, their loved ones and carers, and professionals working with them.
On this website you can find information about what elder abuse is, people’s rights, where to get help, how to stay connected with others, information about policy and research being undertaken by SRV and COTA Victoria, how to best plan for the future, and news and events. There are case studies on the website, which provide examples of how issues can be resolved or avoided.
Also featured on our new website is our series of videos and discussion guides, to help guide people through the steps of future planning.
As part of our work to refresh SRV’s website we have also updated our logo. As you can see the new logo states that SRV is a program of COTA Victoria and has the same font as used on the COTA logo. This is to reinforce and highlight our connection, without being a dramatic change that might cause confusion. We’re really pleased with this fresh new look logo and hope you like it too.
Feel free to drop us a line with any feedback about the new website or logo admin@seniorsrights.org.au
SRV has a free helpline. People can call the helpline to talk to one of our experienced advocates who can help them understand if an issue is elder abuse and to provide some options about how to resolve the situation. In many cases, SRV can link callers with appropriate advice and/or referrals. Where an older person needs more assistance than is available on the Helpline, legal and/or social work advice or casework may be available. 1300 368821
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 (option 1).
For concerned friends or family members, 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.
If it is an emergency, call 000.
