Abstract
This presentation focuses on the launch of an action plan to address domestic and family violence in the lives of older women living in Adelaide, South Australia. The presentation will provide a brief overview of the research project informing the action plan. Domestic and family violence affects women of all ages, including older women. Older women represent a unique subgroup with distinct vulnerabilities that require specific interventions. Yet, domestic violence is an under-recognised phenomenon in the lives of older women and there is currently minimal specialist support available to them. This action plan provides the groundwork for the development of a multi-pronged response that involves a range of services working together to improve responses to older women.
