In recognition of World Elder Abuse Day, Kyneton Town Hall will be illuminated in purple light from Monday June 13 until Sunday June 19.
The day is celebrated on June 15 each year to highlight the importance of elders’ rights.
Macedon Ranges council director of community Maria Weiss said elder abuse is “everybody’s business”.
If you are experiencing elder abuse, or concerned about an older person, you can get help by calling Seniors Rights Victoria on 1300 368 821 Monday to Friday, from 10 am to 5 pm, or by visiting www.seniorsrights.org.au.
