Elder Abuse in Rural and Remote Communities: Social Policy, Prevention and Responses

This project was a scoping literature review commissioned by the Older Persons Advocacy Network (OPAN), a national network of nine state and territory organisations that deliver advocacy, information, and education services to older people in urban, regional, rural and remote Australia. The study aimed to explore and consolidate existing research and literature about social policy, prevention, and service responses to elder abuse in rural and remote communities in order to generate recommendations about ways in which Australia can better respond to this issue.
