The Attorney-General’s Department has commissioned the Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre to undertake a research project on elder abuse and regional, rural, and remote communities.
The research project will investigate:
prevalence and forms of elder abuse in regional, rural, or remote Australia
challenges encountered by victim-survivors when help-seeking or responding to harm
challenges encountered by agencies working to support victim-survivors, respond to or prevent elder abuse
opportunities to enhance responses to and prevention of elder abuse
We invite practitioners and advocates working in the elder abuse space, particularly those delivering services directly to people living in regional, rural and remote communities, to tell us about the experiences and challenges you face via an anonymous online survey.
Please access the survey via the link below
If you have any questions about the project, you can contact Associate Professor Bridget Harris and Dr Naomi Pfitzner on:
