SUMMARY:Recognising and Responding to Elder Abuse in Older Adults Workshop - Geraldton
DESCRIPTION: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. Elder abuse can have ongoing health impacts on an individual\, such as physical injury\, poor mental health and increased risk of premature entry into residential aged care. \nAs with many forms of abuse\, it can be difficult for an individual experiencing elder abuse to speak out. 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. \nJoin Injury Matters\, Advocare and Regional Alliance West for the ‘Recognising and Responding to Elder Abuse in Older Adults’ workshop\, where we will explore: \n\nElder abuse and its impact on older adults\nHow to recognise and respond to elder abuse\nOptions for clients experiencing elder abuse\nThe Elder Abuse Protocol and 5-step approach for action against elder abuse\nUnderstanding patient rights\nRecognising financial abuse from family members\nHow hospital staff can support patients\nAdvocare and how they can assist you\nHow Regional Alliance West can support you\n\nWho should attend? \nThis webinar is for anyone working with older adults\, including home care service providers\, carers and support workers\, community workers\, and health and allied health professionals. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Understanding Diabetes and Falls Among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People
DESCRIPTION:Diabetes is a health condition that can cause high levels of glucose in the blood. It occurs when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin or the body becomes resistant to it. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have higher rates of diabetes\, particularly among older adults. More than one third (34.6%) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged over 55 live with diabetes\, compared to just 5.5% of Aboriginal people aged 18–34. \nFalls are the most common cause of injury leading to hospitalisation among Aboriginal people. Older adults with diabetes have an increased risk of falls\, recurrent falls and the rate of fracture following a fall. In fact\, older adults who have diabetes are twice as likely to have a fall that can result in an injury. \nJoin Injury Matters on 28 May 2026 for the “Understanding Diabetes and Falls Among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People” webinar. \nThis webinar will explore: \n\nDiabetes in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities\nHow diabetes increases the risk of falling\nFalls risk factors for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with diabetes\nScreening tools and assessments\nHow to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with diabetes in falls prevention\n\nWho should attend?  \nAnyone who works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people\, anyone who works with older adults in the community\, Carers\, Support Workers\, Allied Health Professionals\, Occupational Therapists\, Physiotherapists\, Podiatrists\, Eye health professionals\, Nutritionists\, Nurses and Pharmacists. \nRegister here
