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 empirical research into the mistreatment of older Aboriginal people utilised qualitative and quantitative research methods to collect in-depth information from Aboriginal elders,
community, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) and aged care support providers to provide descriptive insights into six key lines of enquiry.
