Allied Health News World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
The Community Aged Care & Rehabilitation Service (CAReS) team set up promotional and educational stalls at the front foyer of Ryde Hospital as well as Graythwaite Rehabilitation Centre to commemorate World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD), which occurred on 15/06/25. We received good feedback from the community members and visitors who were eager to learn more about what they could do to safeguard themselves from abuse, neglect or exploitation as they got older. We provided educational resources as well as general advice to those who engaged with the CAReS staff at the stalls. If anyone wants more information on how they can address Elder Abuse they can go to the NSW Ageing and Disability Commission's website on www.ageingdisabilitycommission.nsw.gov.au or call the NSW Ageing and Disability Abuse Helpline on 1800 628 221.
