The Bell Tower will be lit up in in recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, highlighting that everyone has the right to feel safe.
Elder abuse affects 1 in 6 older Western Australians and may involve many different forms of abuse and mistreatment. From 8 – 15 June 2026, Western Australians are encouraged to Wise Up and Rise Up against all forms of abuse and mistreatment against older people in our community.
