EAAA is a specialist organisation acting to eliminate elder abuse. Our work positively impacts the lives of older Australians, their families, communities and broader society.
What is Compass?
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.
Patient safety and quality is often summarised as the right care, in the right place, at the right time and cost. The Commission defines patient safety as prevention of error and adverse effects associated with health care; and quality as ‘the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge’.
