15.01.2022 Being alert to elder abuse in our communities is always important, especially now during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research shows family violence often increases during major crises and disruptions, which means some older Queenslanders may be at increased risk of abuse at this time. Social and physical isolation, or shared living space with a person who may behave abusively, could heighten the risks. Most cases of elder abuse occur within family relationships. ... Now is a time when we need to look out for each other, particularly those who are most vulnerable. If you suspect that an older person you know is being abused, or are experiencing elder abuse yourself, phone the Elder Abuse Helpline on 1300 651 192 anyone can make the call. The helpline remains open and available (9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday) during the pandemic to provide confidential information, advice and referrals.
