Elder Mediation Support Service

Our free Elder Mediation Support Service (EMSS) is an innovative, elder-focused service which empowers older persons to plan for the future and make important decisions.

 The EMSS offers a combination of family mediation, family therapy and individual support which places the interests, rights and personal safety of older persons at the centre.

The EMSS also seeks to raise community awareness of elder abuse, and build relationships with the community to improve older persons’ access to services.

The EMSS works with people over 65 years (or 50 years for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons) who are experiencing, or are at risk of experiencing, elder abuse.

The EMSS can also work with family members and others who are concerned about an older person. We can provide information, support, and referrals to other services that can help.

In all cases, our focus is on providing services with the older person’s consent, inclusion and, where possible, participation.

The EMSS is based at RAQ’s office in the Morayfield Integrated Health Hub. If Morayfield is not accessible for you, you can talk to us about meeting you somewhere else.

We also work from the Strathpine Family Relationship Centre.
