The Queen Street Mall will buzz with energy on Tuesday 15 June in a day of free events aimed at bringing joy to older Brisbane residents while also providing resources and information on the topic of elder abuse.
The resource guide is a response to the mounting reported sexual assault incidents, lack of adequate education on unlawful sexual contact and the 2021 introduction of the Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS).
Join us as we celebrate the powerful relationships that exist across generations. Gather your friends and family for a very special morning tea, conversation and performance event.
The first day of Queensland Seniors Week, Saturday 15 August, is being dubbed ‘a Day of Solidarity between Generations’, especially fitting given the need for us to remain connected and look out for each other.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is commemorated each year on 15 June to highlight one of the worst manifestations of ageism and inequality in our society, elder abuse.
