UnitingCare Community Elder Abuse National Conference 2012 (QLD. AUSTRALIA)

Elder Abuse is not a new phenomenon, however it is one that is now gaining a great deal more momentum and interest as people live longer and quality of life is higher than in past generations.  This creation of the 'old old' generation has meant that people need their assets to sustain them and provide for their care as they become frail and increasingly dependent on care.
The conference is being held to mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.  World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is a United Nations endorsed day aimed at raising awareness of elder abuse and the issues associated that impact on older people and their community
The two-day conference, on June 7-8 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, is being held to provide information about innovative research and strategies currently used to address elder abuse and prevention. The conference will also stimulate discussion to generate ideas and identify aspects of service delivery that need to be improved.
This conference is supported by the Australian Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (ANPEA).
