How do you create change in a place where there are almost no services, no legislation and limited recognition of elder abuse?

Against this backdrop, you’ll hear exactly how this occurred from Elina Beswick, an Aged Care Advocate at Darwin Community Legal Service.

Elina will talk about:

• The landscape in the NT: why service gaps and lack of frameworks make this issue so urgent
• The advocacy journey: the preconceptions, challenges and turning points that shaped this project
• Building momentum: how they started a network of services and created a roadmap to implement the National Plan to +Prevent Abuse and Mistreatment of Older Australians in the NT.

This isn’t just a Northern Territory story – it’s a story of how change happens. You’ll hear about the persistence, lessons, and strategies that others can draw on when advocating for older people, whether you’re in policy, frontline work, or community leadership.
