As Australia’s population ages, elder abuse is emerging as a critical public health, human rights, and safeguarding issue. For older people from multicultural communities, risks can be compounded by language barriers, migration experiences, financial dependence, social isolation, stigma, and limited awareness of rights or support pathways. These factors can make abuse harder to identify, disclose, and address. This presentation examines how elder abuse prevention and response can be strengthened through culturally responsive and integrated care models. Drawing on community-based practice and cross‑sector experience, it explores how elder abuse manifests within culturally and linguistically diverse communities, including financial exploitation, coercive control, neglect, psychological harm, and restrictions on autonomy. The presentation critically analyses why conventional safeguarding and intervention frameworks may be ineffective when cultural context, trust, power dynamics, and accessibility are not adequately considered. This session will outline evidence-informed and practice-based strategies for strengthening cross-sector collaboration between aged care providers, health services, multicultural organisations, and community leaders to enhance prevention, early identification, and referral responses. It will examine key enabling factors, including culturally safe and responsive communication, workforce capability development, multilingual and accessible education resources, trauma‑informed engagement, and partnership models that establish trust and relational safety prior to crisis escalation.
