One senior member in attendance noted that it was a highly informative and comprehensive forum which provided him with a lot of insight into issues that he might face in the future. Another senior member recommended that, in the future, panellists should have an understanding of Indian culture and customs. This will allow for a more tailored discussion of elder abuse specific to members of the Indian community.

An extensive set of recommendations was recently handed down by the Australian Law Reform Commission, following its recent Elder Abuse Review, which the Federal Government are currently considering. Suggested changes include reforms to Power of Attorney laws and increased levels of training for members of the police force.

If you live in a suburb near grasslands, you’re at risk of re.

If you live directly next to parks or paddocks and a re starts, walk at least two streets back. If you live two or more streets away, stay where you are. Grass res are unlikely to spread into built up areas. Stay alert and monitor conditions. Don’t drive, visibility may be poor, accidents are likely, and you could block emergency services.
