Submission to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety (2019)

Summary

Our Watch’s submission to the Royal Commission primarily focuses on violence against older women.

The submission considers a primary prevention approach timely and necessary to addressing abuse of older people, and outlines aspects of such an approach that we suggest will have benefits for the aged care system, and for older people more broadly.
