A National Disability Abuse and Neglect Hotline website has recently been launched by People with Disability Australia Inc.
The new website aims to be an effective tool to empower people with disability, their families and carers to eliminate abuse and neglect of vulnerable people in the community and in specialist disability services. Anyone can call the Hotline to report cases of abuse or neglect or to find out more about the service.
The Hotline is open from 8am to 8pm across Australia, seven days a week. Phone: 1800 880 052. They can also be contacted by email: disabilityhotline@pwd.org.au
Visit their website www.disabilityhotline.org
