On World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2026, we at BaptistCare stand with older people and communities everywhere, in raising awareness about elder abuse and the importance of prevention, protection and support for older people.

As an organisation, we believe every older person should be safe, heard and treated with dignity and respect.

Elder abuse is often hidden, under-reported and deeply harmful. It can take many forms, including physical, psychological, and financial abuse, as well as neglect. It can often occur when individuals lack visibility, support, or access to services. Addressing this issue requires more than raising awareness. It calls for stronger systems that can prevent abuse and respond effectively when it happens, while respecting the dignity, independence, and rights of older people.

It is everyone’s right to live free from elder abuse.

Today and every day, if you experience, witness or suspect elder abuse, please speak up.

With your help, we can turn lives around.

When Rodney* found himself suddenly homeless, he did what many people in his situation do, he tried to get through each day however he could.

Friends’ couches. Boarding houses. Nights spent wherever there was a space to rest. Getting back on his feet didn’t feel easy, especially when there seemed to be barriers at every turn. When your rental history is affected, finding a safe place to live can feel a long way out of reach.
It was only when Rodney connected with HopeStreet that things started to shift. With the support of a case worker, he began navigating a system that can feel overwhelming. Someone to advocate for him, make calls and help open doors that once felt closed.

HopeStreet also provided practical support, free or low-cost groceries, meals served with a smile and community barbecues. “I’ve taken veggies home and made soup,” Rodney says.

What he also found was something else he'd been desperately missing - a sense of community.
“At first I felt so alienated… but then you get to talk to people and they’ve got the same problems,” he says.

What started as isolation became connection, people who understood, friendships that felt equal and a place where he could belong.

Your generous donation means we can continue to provide this kind of support to people experiencing homelessness - safe accommodation pathways, nourishing food and places of connection. The need is urgent. If you have been thinking of giving, please give today 👉 https://appeal.baptistcare.org.au/

At HopeStreet Dubbo, we’re often amazed by the generosity of our local community.

Recently that generosity arrived in the form of fresh milk from Little Big Dairy Co.

The family-owned Dubbo business kindly donated eight boxes of this beautifully healthy, delicious milk to support our food services, helping us to provide nutritious breakfasts, lunches and practical support to local people in need.

A heartfelt thank you to the team at The Little Big Dairy Co. for standing alongside BaptistCare HopeStreet, and the individuals and families we serve. 💙

Help end hidden homelessness.

Rodney* didn’t expect to become homeless.

He worked in a high-stress job for years, then faced personal tragedies that left him struggling to cope. When he was suddenly wrongfully evicted with virtually no notice, everything unravelled.

Rodney became part of a growing crisis of hidden homelessness, where people may not be sleeping rough, but still don’t have a safe or stable place to live.

It can look like couch surfing, moving between boarding houses, or sleeping in churches and community centres where compassion means doors are left open.

Your gift can help turn things around, with practical support that leads to safety and stability.

$46: Everyday essentials and support
Your gift of $46 helps people like Rodney access hands-on support to navigate housing stress, along with fresh food and practical essentials to get through each day.

$72: Safe accommodation
Your gift of $72 helps HopeStreet secure safe, stable accommodation and cover upfront housing costs like a bond or a no-interest loan.

$108: HopeStreet hub communities
Your gift of $108 helps create welcoming HopeStreet hubs where people find connection, rebuild confidence and experience a sense of belonging, because homelessness is isolating and healing happens in community.

It’s winter and the need is urgent, for those sleeping rough and for the many more facing it behind closed doors. Give today and help someone like Rodney take their next step towards safety, stability and hope 👉 https://appeal.baptistcare.org.au/

A big thank you to everyone who participated, donated and cheered us on. Every step taken and dollar raised will help make a difference in the lives of those living with dementia.

This winter, help people like Rodney find a place to call home.

Not long ago, Rodney* was an ordinary, hardworking bloke. Then a wrongful eviction meant he was suddenly homeless. With nowhere stable to land and unhealthy ways of coping with the stress, his physical and mental health began to decline.

“I was getting thrown out. Like, can they do this?” he asks.

Sadly, his story isn’t rare. On Census night in 2021, an estimated 122,494 people in Australia were experiencing homelessness. But what many people don’t realise is that around 94% of homelessness is hidden, only a small percentage are sleeping rough. That’s where Rodney found himself. He moved between short stays on friends’ couches, unsafe boarding houses and nights spent wherever he could find shelter.

“I got in out of the air and put down a blanket and tried to sleep for a bit,” he says.

For years, Rodney had worked in a high-stress job while navigating personal tragedies. Over time, the pressure built and he turned to drugs to cope, something he’s not proud of. But Rodney's story turned when he found HopeStreet.

With support from a case worker, Rodney began moving towards safer, more stable accommodation. He received practical help, including access to nourishing meals.

But what stayed with him most was the sense of community. What started as isolation became connection, people who understood, friendships that felt equal and a place where he could belong.

“A little community in the community,” Rodney says.

This winter, someone like Rodney will face the cold night alone. But with the right support, that story can change. Please donate today to help HopeStreet reach people experiencing homelessness, both those sleeping rough and the many more facing it behind closed doors.

Your support can provide warm meals, safe accommodation pathways and a caring community when it’s needed most. If you’ve been thinking about giving, make today the day 👉 https://appeal.baptistcare.org.au/

This National Reconciliation Week (27 May – 3 June), we join the call to be All In for reconciliation – every single day.

The 2026 theme, All In, encourages all Australians to step off the sidelines and stop being spectators in reconciliation, instead taking meaningful, wholehearted action every day.

Reconciliation lives in the everyday choices we make, the conversations we have, and the relationships we build.

At BaptistCare, we are committed to listening, learning and strengthening relationships through reconciliation. We strive to foster communities that honour and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, histories, cultures and futures.

There's a moment most of us know well – that first stretch of the morning, arms overhead, a long exhale. Something in the body says yes. We’ve explored the best dynamic stretches for older adults, how to perform them safely, and how BaptistCare supports residents in staying active and mobile.
