N2  - This study was commissioned by the Western Australian Department of Communities as a component of the WA Strategy to Respond to the Abuse of Older People (Elder Abuse) 2019-
20294 (Elder Abuse Strategy). The Elder Abuse Strategy is a 10-year whole of government plan that aims to prevent and respond to the abuse of older people throughout Western Australia.

This study has sought to build on and update existing research and knowledge, as well as to identify gaps in policy and practice and in data and evidence, that are relevant to the Western Australian context. Recognising that this is a complex issue that defies simple, narrow definitions and approaches,5 the core research objectives framing this study are to:
• better understand the types of abuse experienced by older people in Western Australia;
• map agency and service provider responses and referral pathways to understand the ‘service journey’ of older people experiencing or at risk of abuse;
• explore best practice recommendations that are suited to Western Australian conditions, taking account of existing resources develop a clearer understanding of
the distinctive experiences and needs of older people. This includes people living in regional, rural, and remote Western Australia but also diverse populations, including
CaLD and LGBTIQ+ older people, who are known to have unique needs and experiences, lower rates of service access and who may be at greater risk of abuse. (From the document). Record #8457
