Elder Abuse Support

OPRS logo

Encompass Legal and Community Services provides the Older People’s Rights Service (OPRS) which offers legal advice, advocacy, peer education sessions and social support to those at risk of or experiencing elder abuse, with a focus on positive ageing.

Elder abuse can be physical, financial, psychological, social, sexual and/ or neglect. It is a very complex area that can cause distress with finances, relationships, physical health, mental health and quality of life.

OPRS focuses on empowering older adults in their decision making by providing relevant advice, information, education and support. In addition calendars, brochures and support materials are produced to assist older adults in making contact with services that can help them.
