Queensland Churches Together

Queensland Churches Together QCT is a membership organization. This means that all the work undertaken by QCT is done on behalf of its members. Each year QCT elects a new president.

In order to reach consensus about what they want, the members meet regularly, represented in each case by delegates of their choice. This takes place in monthly Executive meetings and twice a year in so-called General Meetings. Each of these meetings is a rich exercise in ecumenical dialogue. QCT's structure, in other words, creates many spaces for dialogue between its various members. The Preside

nt is a member of QCT's Executive Committee. The annual change of presidents ensures that all active members of QCT are able to fill this leadership role at some time. Our current president is Major Rick Hoffmann. The staff facilitate joint action of the members of QCT in various fields, in consultation with the governing bodies and commissions.

Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD), a day to start important conversations and stand together against the abuse and neglect of older people.

Elder abuse can take many forms, including financial, emotional, psychological, physical, sexual or social. For older people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, language barriers and dependence on family members for support can increase vulnerability to abuse and make it harder to seek help.

Aged care providers play a critical role in preventing and responding to elder abuse. Want to learn more? Join us for “See It. Name It. Report It. Elder Abuse and SIRS in Practice”.
