Walk Against Elder Abuse

The City of Hobart is once again proud to support COTA's annual Walk Against Elder Abuse.

1 in 6 older Australians living in the community experience elder abuse every year.

Communities that devalue or ignore older people are more likely to ignore their abuse. The first step towards changing this is for Tasmanians of all generations to stamp out the ageism that helps elder abuse thrive.

COTA's annual Walks Against Elder Abuse are short enough for most people to participate but long on passion and optimism. Following the walk, gather for refreshments and to come together as a community against agesim.

Wear something purple, the colour of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day held on the same day in June each year, and dress for the season.

Thursday June 15: We gather in Elizabeth Street Mall at 9.45 am for a 10 am start. Followed by refreshments at Mather's House supported by the City of Hobart.
