The Framing Age Message Guide (the Guide) was developed by Common Cause Australia on behalf of the consortium led by Southern Melbourne Primary Care Partnership (SMPCP).
The Guide was released via an online public launch on the 20 October 2021. The purpose was to develop better understanding of ageist attitudes which are a key driver of abuse against older people.
To support the release of the Guide, a series of training workshops and a launch event were amongst the activities used to promote the principles in the Guide.
The workshops provided an opportunity to test the material of the Framing Age Message Guide to participants and provide educational content on values-based messaging.
