Abstract

Abstract This article examines a 19‐month pilot introducing eldercaring coordination to Australia through collaboration between the University of South Australia and Relationships Australia South Australia. The research demonstrates that eldercaring coordination enhances existing tools for courts and professionals while complementing Australia's progression toward supported decision‐making and addressing high‐conflict, complex family cases. Eldercaring coordination offers tiered intervention, maintaining autonomy while providing professional oversight for high‐conflict situations. Integration into Australia's elder support frameworks would provide professionals with an evidence‐based tool for managing complex disputes while enhancing relationships.
