2. Prevention of elder abuse in ethnic communities resources

Elder abuse is any act that harms older people and that is carried out by someone they know and should be able to trust such as family or friends. Such harm can be financial, physical, sexual, emotional or psychological, including mistreatment or neglect. eccv would like to see suspected elder abuse in ethnic communities addressed within the context of cultural behaviours, values and expectations. This definition is in line with the Victorian Government definition of elder abuse in the practice guidelines With respect to age—2009
