Many end up staying with family and friends temporarily, and are more vulnerable to elder abuse as a result.
Seniors Rights Victoria (SRV), a key service provided by the Council on the Ageing (COTA) Victoria and the only Community Legal Centre dedicated to preventing and responding to elder abuse within the state, has partnered with Housing for the Aged Action Group (HAAG) to revitalise the Warm Safe Home project in the lead up to World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) on 15 June.
The trio will actively work with other community groups and grassroots organisations to raise awareness of elder abuse, housing affordability, and other issues facing older Victorians.
