GOVA | ANNOUNCING | Elder Abuse: Everyone's Business Helpline 1800 353 374

[Edited extract from public address]

We're listening. You're not alone: 1800 ELDERHELP

Elder abuse may involve physical harm, misuse of your money, sexual abuse, emotional abuse or neglect.

1800 ELDERHelp (1800 353 374) is a free call phone number that automatically redirects callers seeking information and advice on elder abuse with the existing phone line service in their jurisdiction. The phone line has been established in collaboration with state and territory governments.

Elder abuse phone lines are not crisis support services, and operating hours and services vary across jurisdictions.

If you require immediate assistance in an emergency or life threatening situation, contact Triple Zero (000).

For assistance with other aged care issues, visit My Aged Care or call 1800 200 422.
