Compass is a national website created to help older Australians navigate the complex issue of elder abuse and to guide action to end the problem. We make resources and information available both for older Australians and for the people who care for and support them.

As a voice for action, Compass acts against elder abuse by raising nationwide awareness of this growing social issue and simplifying the process of connecting people to services and information that can help.

Compass is an Australian Government initiative funded by the Attorney-General’s Department in response to the National Plan to Respond to the Abuse of Older Australians (Elder Abuse) 2019–2023.

Compass is led by Elder Abuse Action Australia (EAAA), a specialist organisation working to eliminate elder abuse. Through advocacy, policy development, research and capacity building, EAAA works to create a society that respects and values older Australians and is free from elder abuse.
