This project will investigate how migration intersects with elder abuse to reduce the risk, impact and acuity of abuse for older migrants living in Australia. Using sociological qualitative methods, the project will deliver empirical evidence and theoretical understandings of how elder abuse is affected by migration policy, cultural factors, and transnational family dynamics. Expected outcomes include new knowledge about the lives of vulnerable older adults at risk of harm, and the kinds of community and service supports they need to age well. The project will deliver policy recommendations to support safer ageing in multicultural Australia and resources to inform both community members and professionals working in relevant sectors.","funding-current":504315.00,"funding-at-announcement":500713,"investigators-current":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Catriona","familyName":"Stevens","roleName":"Discovery Early Career Researcher Award","roleCode":"DECRA","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-2207-687X "}],"investigators-at-announcement":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Catriona","familyName":"Stevens","roleName":"Discovery Early Career Researcher Award","roleCode":"DECRA","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-2207-687X "}],"organisations-current":[{"organisationName":"Edith Cowan University","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"WA"}],"organisations-at-announcement":[{"organisationName":"Edith Cowan University","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"WA"}],"field-of-research":[{"isPrimary":false,"code":"440712","name":"Social Policy","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":true,"code":"4410","name":"Sociology","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"441009","name":"Sociology of Family and Relationships","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"441013","name":"Sociology of Migration, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism","type":"FOR20"}],"socio-economic-objective":[{"code":"230102","name":"Ageing and Older People","type":"SEO20"},{"code":"230111","name":"Multicultural Services","type":"SEO20"}],"international-collaboration":["Canada","England"],"lief-register":[],"achievement-summary":null,"national-interest-test-statement":"Elder abuse is one of the most serious issues related to population ageing. The National Elder Abuse Prevalence Study found that 1 in 6 community-dwelling older Australians experience some form of abuse. Australia has one of the most diverse ageing populations in the world, yet older migrants experiencing abuse are less able to seek help and access formal and informal sources of support. This project will deliver new insights into elder abuse and the impact of migration, and thereby improve the lives of older migrants, including both long-term residents and more recent arrivals, to support safer ageing in Australia. The project will contribute to the Australian Science and Research Priority of ‘supporting healthy and thriving communities’ by raising awareness of this critical issue and providing a strong evidence-base for new practical approaches to effectively address elder abuse in our increasingly diverse Australian communities. The project will deliver new evidence and much needed recommendations that can inform policy at state, national and international levels, including the implementation of the National Plan to End the Abuse and Mistreatment of Older Adults 2024-2034."}}}
