Preventing and addressing elder abuse is a key priority for the coalition government. The government has committed $37 million to preventing elder abuse, including for the development of a national plan, an elder abuse knowledge hub and specialist frontline services. The government has also set aside funding to work with the states to create nationally consistent power-of-attorney laws and establish a national online register. The government will also provide $254 million over four years to establish a new Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. The commission will be responsible for the approval, accreditation, assessment, monitoring, compliance and complaints management for all Australian government subsidised aged-care providers.
