The Elder Abuse Prevention Strategy (EAPS) has been developed to protect and safeguard the rights of older Victorians. The fundamental principle underpinning the strategy is that every Victorian has the right to live safely and to be treated with dignity and respect.
A number of resources have been developed to assist agencies in their responsiveness to cases of suspected and identified elder abuse. Copies of the following resources are attached:-
