Description

This report of the first-ever detailed study of financial elder abuse specifically in remote towns and Aboriginal communities, is the culmination of months of detailed surveys and interviews with Aboriginal families, stakeholders and service providers across the Kimberley. It finds that Aboriginal elders are under immense financial pressure, and often find themselves providing for extended family on an individual pension or other income.

This work highlights the causes and prevalence of elder financial abuse, and provides posters, animations and a practical training manual to  find solutions to support families and communities.
