The National Elder Abuse Prevalence Study <\/a><\/span>shows that around <\/span>one in six Australians aged 60 years and older are experiencing some form of abuse<\/span><\/a>. We describe what elder abuse is, the forms it can take, how to spot the warning signs, and where to get help if you or someone you know is experiencing it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/h6>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

<\/p>\n

Elder abuse occurs when a person in a position of power harms, exploits or mistreats an older person. The abuse can be a one-off incident, ongoing or part of a history of domestic and family violence<\/a>. People who are most likely to abuse older people are family or friends of the older person.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Australian Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety in 2018 revealed that abuse is shockingly common in residential care<\/a>, with 5,718 allegations of assault received under the mandatory reporting requirements in 2019-20, and a further 27,000 to 39,000 alleged assaults that were exempt from mandatory reporting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
