Social Policy Research Centre
This was a component of a project commissioned by the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department (AGD) and led by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) to examine the potential for a national study on the extent of abuse of older people in Australia.
The aims of this component were to:
- examine existing ABS surveys and datasets to explore what can be known about abuse of older people
- synthesise and integrate findings from the data analysis and data scoping in this component to identify what can be known and data gaps.
The project involved scoping a range of existing national datasets and analysing those which were most relevant to explore what information about the extent and nature of elder abuse was available in the data.
