Everyone has the right to live their lives free from abuse.
There’s a number of things we can all do to prevent elder abuse from getting out of hand such as:
- respecting older people and call out ageism
- listen to older people and their care partner
- check in with vulnerable older people
Elder abuse is hard to picture, but happens every day. What starts out small doesn't always stay that way.
What is elder abuse?
Actions causing harm to an older person from someone they know or trust is elder abuse. It can include:
- taking their money or possessions
- not providing necessary care
- making threats or stopping an older person’s from contacting others socially
- physical or sexual abuse.
Anyone experiencing elder abuse may:
- act fearfully or withdraw
- show signs of stress, anxiety or depression
- show signs of bruising or other physical injuries
- not have the ability to pay their bills and expenses.
Elder abuse often occurs within close relationships and is a form of family violence. It’s unacceptable and we need to call it out.
How we can stop elder abuse
There’s several actions we can take to stop elder abuse and includes:
- staying connected in the community
- seeking independent advice
- developing a support network of trusted friends and professionals
- seeking help.
If you or anyone you know is experiencing elder abuse, don’t be afraid to ask for help.

In this workshop, primary school-aged children are invited to join the staff from Awareaway to create fish from re-purposed plastic waste. The fish will then be displayed as part of the 'School of Plastic Fish' exhibition at the Box Hill Community Art Centre.
Participation in the workshops is free but places are limited.
The exhibition runs from 23 May until 29 May 2022 at the Box Hill Community Art Centre.
'School of Plastic Fish' is an exhibition responding to the alarming study that predicts by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans.
The fish depict an eerie yet beautiful ocean-scape where they are displayed, reminding us of a possible future and encouraging us to embrace positive behaviour change to reimagine a better and more sustainable future.
Awareaway is a social and environmental enterprise, co-founded by Sophie Dahm and Alex Child, dedicated to sustainable and creative design by re-purposing and up-cycling plastic waste.
