| Annotation | Only relatively recently has the issue of elder abuse come to prominence in Australia. Until the late 1980s, it was a hidden problem with little knowledge of its presence. Attention was drawn to elder abuse after the publication of a number of reports and research projects, allowing the development of responses at national and state levels. This paper gives an overview of the development of elder abuse as a social, legal and medical issue in Australia. It describes the diverse range of responses from the national, state and territory governments. (KJ/RH). |
