Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
It's a day that matters to everyone who works with, loves, or supports an older person.
Elder abuse is more common than most people know. It can be physical, financial, emotional, or social. And it often goes unspoken because the people experiencing it feel they have no one to turn to, or fear losing the support they depend on.
If you're concerned about an older person in your life, you don't have to have all the answers before you reach out.
In NSW, the Ageing and Disability Abuse Helpline is 1800 628 221.
In QLD, the Elder Abuse Prevention Unit is 1300 651 192.
