Seniors Rights Victoria

Elder abuse is any act which causes harm to an older person and is carried out by someone they know and trust such as a family member or friend. The abuse may be physical, social, financial, psychological or sexual and can include mistreatment and neglect.

If you, your client or someone you know is experiencing elder abuse, please contact our free, confidential Helpline: 1300 368 821.
