Compass

Compass had been created to support the Australian Government’s commitment to build a national elder abuse knowledge hub – consolidating a diverse range of information and resources about the abuse of older people, for the benefit of the community.

Elder Abuse Action Australia (EAAA), with funding from the Australian Government Attorney-General’s Department, approached Grade to review, redesign and ultimately rebuild the existing Compass site, which was already content heavy but proving hard for visitors to navigate, and difficult for the content team to keep updated.
