Aged care laws in Australia have now changed. The new Aged Care Act 2024 and Aged Care Rules 2025 now apply. While we complete updating of our website, including draft guidance and other materials, to align with the new laws, providers are advised to refer to the new Act and Rules for any required clarification of their obligations and legal responsibilities. Thank you for your patience.

Elder Abuse Prevention

Elder Abuse Prevention

Guidance,

This resource provides community education and awareness programmes to prevent elder abuse, particularly for culturally and linguistically diverse seniors. It includes bilingual training for community educators, in-language resources, and guidance for recognising and addressing elder abuse through culturally appropriate methods.

This resource was developed by a state/territory government or organisation and therefore its applicability and usefulness may be limited.
