World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day seeks to prevent elder abuse incidents by giving targeted information and encouraging community participation on a broad scale. The day is about all of us working together to bring greater recognition of the mistreatment of older people wherever they live, and to highlight the need for appropriate action.

“There is an estimated 167,000 older Australians experiencing some form of abuse in the past year.”

Take action this June by:

• Organising a fundraising event
• Passing out the information brochures
• Volunteering
• Donating
• Raising awareness in the community
• Showing support on social media
