Elder Abuse Action Australia (EAAA) has been awarded a tender to develop a digital learning app focused on family, domestic and sexual violence against older people in Australia.
The app will cover topics related to Recognition, Prevention, Response, and Recovery and is designed primarily for workers and professionals who interact with older people living in the community.
They’ll be consulting with people across the country: in this round of workshops
They want to hear from:
health workers (e.g. GPs, Nurses, Community-based nurses, Ambulance staff, RFDS)
in-home care providers
family, domestic and sexual violence support workers
Social workers
allied health professionals
NDIS providers
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers
welfare agency workers
LGBTQIA+ support services
CALD support services
WHY WE NEED YOUR INPUT
People experiencing elder abuse often disclose or seek help from third parties such as carers, professionals and other trusted individuals. To ensure the educational materials are fit for purpose we want to know:
How can frontline workers be empowered to support older people experiencing abuse?
As a frontline worker, what specific knowledge or skills would you like to have?
We’re seeking advice through focus groups to ensure the app and its content meet workers' needs. We also want to understand the experience of workers interacting with older people who may be experiencing abuse.
