Elder abuse in Queensland is skyrocketing—notifications up 82% in five years—with overwhelmed services failing to meet the growing need. Despite years of inquiries, real change remains slow, leaving vulnerable seniors without critical support. Abuse often comes from trusted loved ones, including adult children, and affects one in six Australians over 65. With no dedicated criminal classification for elder abuse in Queensland, police lack specific data—but experts, officials, and survivors will converge at the upcoming Gold Coast conference to demand systemic change. This isn’t just a family issue—it’s a community responsibility we must urgently address.
