Indigenous Advisory Group to Inform National Plan
Elder victims of family violence will get increased support through an additional $1 million committed by the Victorian Government.
‘The funding will support programs to raise awareness so older people, their carers and family members are aware of the rights of senior Victorians and how to seek help.
It will also support programs to prevent perpetrators from committing family violence against older Victorians and encourage bystanders to speak out.
The National Ageing Research Institute found that two thirds of elder abuse is perpetrated by a son or daughter.’
