As part of #The Biscuit Tin Project Elder Rights Australia hosted a workshop to share the stories and recipies from older women.  The focus was on how older women experience respect in their families, workplaces and the broader community.

The Stronger Together project is running place-based events to strengthen partnerships between police, aged care providers, older people, families and advocates to tackle elder abuse and incidents in aged care.

Stories of connection and shared joy abound in the heart of our Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS). This program involves regular visits to older people receiving aged care services. Today, we share the uplifting tale of Alya, a dedicated volunteer whose bond with 99-year-old Signora Rosa transcends generations and cultures.

As part of our advocacy work at Elder Rights Australia, we recently assisted a client in purchasing a bed, mattress, sofa, and pillows from a third-party supplier, using their Home Care Package (HCP) funds – the request of the older person, to their provider, being in line with their assessed care plan needs. However, the HCP provider initially refused to approve the purchase, leaving the client without the necessary equipment.
