'Almost two-thirds of older people experiencing abuse didn't seek help': report

The Australian Institute of Family Studies research shows 15 per cent of older Australians - about 630,000 people - experienced a form of elder abuse in the 12 months prior to being surveyed between February and May 2020. It says that almost two-thirds of older people experiencing abuse didn't seek help. Advocates and frontline workers are demanding swift action from the state and federal governments to address the issue and prevent elder abuse.
