Thanks @sofieformica for the opportunity to speak with you on @NewsTalk4BC about the impact of #elderabuse on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day #WEAAD We need older people to speak out and for the rest of the community to call out elder abuse @_ADAAustralia

Great article in @australian from Helen Trinca - speaking out about her experiences with Residential #agedcare We must see older Australians as individuals first #HumanRights@_ADAAustralia@ElderAbuseAct
Don’t deny aged care residents their dignity https://t.co/s3kUDU1Efl
Joining #Advocacy Managers from across Australia in Brisbane today to plan our response to the #agedcare reforms that are being rolled out - seeking to ensure that the rights of older people are respected and protected #OPAN @_ADAAustralia
While International #HumanRightsDay is almost over, the messaging from @_ADAAustralia is alive and well. We all expect our #HumanRights will endure. #age or #Disability must not diminish our ability to be part of the decision making process that impacts us.
People who need support to make decisions have the same human rights as others in the community. People of all cognitive abilities must be informed and allowed to participate in decisions that concern them. Be a Brilliant Attorney - https://t.co/7c2kUffPo8
#HumanRightsDay2022
Great to hear @AnikaWells talking about innovative models of #agedcare. A real opportunity for leadership. To support innovation we need a funding commitment for demonstration projects that replace the current antiquated models of care #HumanRights@_ADAAustralia
“We must seek out innovative models of care to prepare for the greatest challenge to aged care this century: The Baby Boomers.”
