Did you know that 1 in 6 older Australians experience some type of abuse?* Elder abuse can be financial, emotional, psychological, physical, sexual or social. It might happen just once or repeatedly, and its impact can vary.
Merri Health is proud to lead the Elder Abuse Prevention Networks in the North and West to put an end to elder abuse, and we’re excited to unveil a new logo for the networks!
今天,我们与 100 多名老年人和北方网络成员一起参加了旨在增强决策信心的免费活动,纪念 "世界提高对虐待老年人认识日"。

下周四,我们将启动一个名为 "银线和金针"的特别社区手工艺项目,该项目由西部网络主办,旨在颂扬老年妇女的力量。
