Systemic abuse of older Australians
- How have COVID-19 and/or the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety changed the way the abuse of older people in aged care is perceived?
- Should this now be explicitly included in descriptions of what constitutes elder abuse?
- How has COVID-19 exposed systemic abuse of older people in, for example, health, housing, mental health, government agencies and administrative processes?
- How does systemic abuse of older people play out in our legal system?
- How do older women’s poverty and homelessness affect their risk of elder abuse, and how should we respond?
- How can we prevent systemic elder abuse?
