The Attorney-General has welcomed a report calling for a national plan to better protect older Australians. Australia's law reform commission on 15/06/17 issued more than 40 recommendations to stop financial and physical abuse of the elderly. It is a problem advocates say is far too prevalent in Australia, with up to one in twenty senior Australians suffering some form of abuse. But Council on the Ageing chief executive, Ian Yates, say elder abuse is difficult to track.
