The abuse of older people remains a pertinent issue in Australia, which has been particularly highlighted by the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. Older Persons Advocacy Network has developed a mobile application (Elder Help) and a video (Noticed Something?) which aim to provide information to volunteers and all those in contact with older people to recognise the possible signs of abuse. These resources also educate the wider community on the rights of older people receiving aged care, and how to access aged care advocacy services.

About this event

Older Persons Advocacy Network is pleased to announce that Senator the Hon Richard Colbeck, Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians, will be officially launching these resources at this free event. The mobile application and video will be demonstrated, and the audience will have a chance to ask questions about how the resources can be used.
