Retirement Village Elder Abuse Strategies
Changes to the Retirement Villages Regulation 2017 (schedule 3A clause 10) includes new requirements for Retirement Village operators to prepare and put into practice a clear and accessible strategy for both staff and residents to better identify and respond to the abuse of older people living in a retirement village.
This guide is for retirement village operators to meet Rule 10 in the mandatory rules of conduct. We believe that retirement village operators play a significant role in protecting and promoting the rights of older people to live free from abuse.
The guide includes a range of resources and instructions on how to effectively implement your elder abuse prevention strategy to meet your mandatory requirements..
