The EAPA was established in 2002 to achieve a clearer understanding of abuse and provide direction and awareness to prevent it. Every year in Australia it is estimated there are over 100,000 elderly people who suffer some form of abuse. We all need to become more aware of elder abuse occurring in our society and how we can protect those who are suffering from this abuse.
