Seniors Rights Victoria offers a range of services including individual support for older Victorians experiencing abuse, advocacy, legal services and community and service provider education.

We are the primary, government-endorsed destination for friends, family members and older Victorians seeking information and support relating to elder abuse.

We provide a welcoming and confidential environment in which to discuss experiences and plan a course of action. Our experienced legal advisers and advocates offer sound advice and referrals to reputable legal representatives. We honour the trust shown to us and respect the choices our clients make.

Seniors Rights Victoria representatives are involved in research, policy and advocacy relating to elder abuse, mistreatment and neglect. We are the first point of contact for people, community groups and service providers responding to elder abuse.

Seniors Rights Victoria works with external providers and community groups to raise awareness of elder abuse.

Our experienced trainers also educate older Victorians on issues relating to elder abuse, including prevention, in order to give them more confidence and control over their own lives

Through our community education program we provide informative, accessible workshops and presentations for seniors, family members and carers.

Our tailored service promotion is available to agencies, service providers and other organisations to increase and improve understanding and develop an organisational approach to elder abuse.
