Elder Abuse Tip Sheet

This information sheet outlines important things you should know about elder abuse: how to recognise it and what to do about it.

Relationships Australia gives families the support and tools to work together, overcome differences, and respectfully resolve conflict. This means the interests, health, and safety of elders and other family members can be met and protected.

Our Senior Relationship Services help older people and their families:

  • prevent and resolve family conflict

  • have difficult conversations

  • plan for the future (including medical, health, financial and living arrangements)

  • improve communication skills

  • make decisions that protect the interests, rights, and safety of family members

  • reduce the risk of elder abuse, including emotional and financial abuse
