Elder abuse awareness video campaigns
Explore national elder abuse awareness campaigns that educate Australians on recognising the signs, supporting older people, and preventing abuse.
Know the signs | 2020 campaign
The Commission's first elder abuse video campaign, ‘Know the Signs’, was launched on 1 October 2020 and encourages people to open their eyes to elder abuse, know the warning signs and understand that it can happen to any older person.
What can you do to help? | 2021 campaign
On the International Day of Older Persons, 1 October 2021, the Commission launched its second elder abuse video campaign ‘What can you do to help?’ to raise awareness among people who interact with older Australians about the warning signs of elder abuse and where to get support.
Shift your perspective | 2022 campaign
Launched on Saturday 1 October to coincide with the 2022 International Day of Older Persons, the campaign 'Shift your perspective' includes a series of videos which prompt perpetrators to consider how their behaviour might be affecting older people in their lives.
This campaign aims to bring about a shift in perspective among perpetrators and educate all Australians about what elder abuse can look like and where to get support.
