Survey Invitation: Knowledge, experiences, and practices in relation to elder abuse – A national survey of General Practitioners, Geriatricians and Nurse Practitioners

1 in 6 older Australians reported experiencing abuse in the past 12 months.

As a front-line health care provider for older adults, you are uniquely placed to detect changes in your patients’ circumstances and identify potential threats to their safety. We invite you to complete a short survey about elder abuse to help with research led by my team at the University of Newcastle, Hunter Medical Research Institute, and University of Technology Sydney.

You are eligible to participate if you are a Geriatrician currently working in a public or private community-based setting and your caseload includes older people aged 65+ years.  

The online survey should take no more than 12 minutes to complete. You will receive a $100 Gift Card as a token of appreciation for your time.  

You do not need any special knowledge about elder abuse to complete the survey. More detailed information about the research is provided in the Participant Information Statement.
