Human rights of all persons (including safeguarding against exploitation, violence, or abuse) are regulated by the Law no. 9/1999 on Human Rights. There is an independent legal body called the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) whose function is to carry out assessment, research, counselling, monitoring, and mediation. It has the capacity to receive appeals/complaints, to run investigations, and to perform monitoring-evaluations when needed (UU No. 39/1999 Tentang Hak Asasi Manusia (Law No. 39/1999 on Human Rights), 1999).

There is also a law pertaining domestic violence, which is applicable to abuse committed within the household. There is no mention of different approaches in cases where the victim is an older person or a person living with dementia (UU No. 23/2004 Tentang Penghapusan Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga (Law No. 23/2004 on Elimination of Domestic Violence), 2004).
