| Summary |
This is the Australian Law Reform Commission's second consultation document for their inquiry into elder abuse, following on from their June paper which introduced the issues involved. In February 2016, the Attorney-General asked the Commission to investigate the laws that protect older Australians from abuse by formal and informal carers, supporters, representatives, and others. This new paper presents 43 proposals for law reform and invites feedback from the community and stakeholders. Each of the proposals address risks and challenges in the areas of powers of investigation, criminal justice responses, enduring powers of attorney and enduring guardianship, guardianship and financial administration orders, banks and superannuation, family agreements, wills, social security, and aged care - the paper also calls for a national plan to address elder abuse |
