The Legal Aid Commission of Tasmania operates Senior Assist, which offers free and confidential assistance to people across the State who are over the age of 65 (or over the age of 50 if Indigenous) and worried about, or experiencing, elder abuse. This is an integrated legal and support service, with case workers working alongside legal staff.
As well as Senior Assist, older people can find general information on the Legal Aid for Tasmanians about going to court, getting a lawyer and dispute resolution. There is a web chat function as well as the phone line.
