Stop Elder Abuse

Posted on: Fri 23 Nov 2018

Five per cent of our senior Australians are suffering abuse from someone close to them.

The initiative STOP ELDER ABUSE has helped to raise awareness of the problem thus causing a boost in the number of cases reported.

Jeanette Walters, Director of Intergovernment Relations and Ageing from SA Health, joins Zoe Kounadis to speak about elder abuse and the positive results of the initiative.

To report elder abuse or obtain more information about the campaign:

Call Phone Line 1800 372 310 or visit the STOP ELDER ABUSE website.
