Abuse of Older People Response Toolkit now live

May 20, 2025 · News, Our Stories

We’re proud to share our Abuse of Older People Response Toolkit — a powerful, practical guide for professionals working across health, community, and aged care.

This afternoon, we celebrated this important milestone with a heartfelt afternoon tea alongside 40+ dedicated practitioners from across Melbourne’s north and west. Thank you to everyone who joined us in solidarity and shared commitment. We heard from keynote speaker, Dominique Horne, Senior Clinical Lead at ACNA, who commented, “this toolkit helps to bridge the gap in lack of confidence and taking action. It delves into how to respond to elder abuse appropriately in the workplace.”

Our toolkit increases knowledge and confidence to take action through:

  • Practical guidance for safe, respectful conversations
  • An intersectional, trauma-informed, strengths-based practice
  • Being informed by the insights and expertise of frontline workers
