World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.  

This year we want to support our colleagues at Elder Abuse Action Australia to amplify the voices of older people.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is not only an opportunity to raise awareness of the many types of elder abuse but also to highlight and celebrate contributions older people make in all aspects of life.

In our society we don’t hear from older people enough. So this year, Compass and Elder Abuse Action Australia (EAAA) are marking World Elder Abuse Awareness Day with an invitation to older people to share their stories. If you are over 50, over 60, over 70, over 80, over 90 or even over 100, we want to hear your story.
