Summary

This report reflects on progress made since Relationships Australia introduced their 'Let's Talk Elder Mediation and Support Service' in response to the high rates of people aged 65 and older experiencing physical, psychological, financial or sexual abuse in Australian communities. Abuse of older people is a pervasive issue demanding attention and intervention, and as Australia's population continues to age, the complexities of the issue are becoming more apparent. This report delves into the challenges that persist, and what the path forward for effectively addressing abuse of older people looks like.
