We are part of Legal Aid Queensland, and this website outlines services available to help older Queenslanders with their legal problems including family and domestic violence, consumer rights, family law, and anti-discrimination.
Everyone has the right to live without fear of violence or abuse. If you're an older person experiencing family or domestic violence from a partner, relative or a family member (such as your children) then there are services available to help you.
Older people might not report or discuss concerns about abuse with others because of feelings of shame, fear of retaliation, worries about involving other family members, or concerns about being institutionalised. Often they're not aware that they're experiencing abuse, or may feel that it's their own fault.
