Financial Counselling and Elder Abuse – Update

James Degenhardt

Financial counsellors play a vital role in the prevention of financial elder abuse. Our elder abuse project is funded by the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and aims to strengthen the links between financial counsellors and Victoria’s elder abuse prevention networks. Throughout June, we held 21 webinars that aimed to strengthen the links between financial counsellors and other community services working with older Victorians. An incredible 570 participants registered for the webinars, which resulted in a great geographic coverage of Victoria.
