The law handbook: your practical guide to the law in NSW

There is no specific chapter on issues concerning older people, such as elder abuse or family arrangements.

There are some chapters (detailed below) relevant to people seeking further detail about legal options in NSW (such as court processes, alternative dispute resolution processes, family law proceedings or information on apprehended violence orders), however, it is quite high-level.

The information is more useful to an older person wanting to understand what a family member is going through (for example, if their child is separating) rather than being specific to their own situation.

Relevant chapters include:

  • dispute resolution

  • domestic violence

  • family law

  • social security entitlements
