Last Thursday Australia's law reform commission 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.
The Australian law reform commission launched an inquiry into the elder abuse last year.
It has now released its findings, in a report that includes 43 recommendations.
The Attorney-General has welcomed a report calling for a national plan to better protect older Australians.
