World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2025: Roundtable with Faith Leaders

By invitation only.

The Inner West Region Prevention of Abuse of Older People Collaborative invites senior faith leaders to a roundtable discussion on addressing the abuse and disrespect of older people—particularly within culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

1 in 6 older Australians have experienced abuse, yet most cases go unreported—often occurring behind closed doors, within families, and in silence. This forum aims to engage trusted community voices to raise awareness, explore prevention strategies, and promote support pathways.

Date: Friday 27 June 2025

Time: 9:30am – 12:00pm

Location: Canadian Exiles Room, Building A (Level 1), Loftus Street, Concord

Parking: Concord Oval Recreation Centre car park accessed from Gipps Street or street parking.

Note: The event will be held in English. If you require language support, please bring someone with you and factor this into your booking. Spots are limited to 1-2 representatives from each organisation.

Proudly supported by: City of Canada Bay, City of Canterbury Bankstown, Inner West Council, Sydney Local Health District, Burwood Council, Strathfield Council, Community and Cultural Connections Inc, Older Women's Network NSW and Ethnic Community Services Cooperative.
