Why tackle ageism?
Tackling ageism is an Enabling Factor of South Australia’s Plan for Ageing Well 2020-2025.
Office for Ageing Well’s Elder Abuse Prevention Community Awareness Campaign went live on 15 June 2022 – World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
The campaign focuses on the role ageism plays in taking away older people’s rights such as safety, dignity, and respect. And it highlights that ageism can lead to mistreatment, neglect, and other forms of abuse.
