Elder Abuse and Coercive Control

Join us to understand how older women experience coercive control and whether the newly passed coercive control legislation can assist them. Some of the questions the webinar will address include:

How do older women experience coercive control?

Are their experiences recognised in the new coercive control legislation?

How should service providers respond to cases of coercive control involving older women?

What are the problems associated with the new coercive control legislation that we should be aware of?

Why is cultural and systems reform essential and what does this actually mean?

The session will be moderated by Jane Caro, author, broadcaster, media specialist and OWN Ambassador

Kathryn McKenzie, Director of Operations, Ageing & Disability Commission

Liz Snell, Law Reform & Policy Coordinator, Women's Legal Service NSW
