e-Rideables are rapidly emerging as a popular mode of transport in Australia, offering a convenient, cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative for short trips.

Elder abuse is a serious public health and social issue, estimated to effect 1 in 6 older adults in Western Australia. It can take many forms, including financial, social, physical, sexual, psychological and emotional abuse, and neglect, and can occur in a range of different settings. It is vital that health and community professionals working with older adults in WA carry the skills to recognise and respond to elder abuse to ensure the safety of their clients and provide support to make informed decisions about their ongoing safety and wellbeing.
