National Falls Prevention Program
Feedback
While falls are not an inevitable result of ageing, they do pose a serious concern to many older people. The aim of this program is to reduce the incidence of falls among older people and the associated injuries and fatalities.
A number of projects have been set up to examine different approaches to falls prevention. The Falls Prevention Program is a part of the Department of Health and Ageing web site.
There is also an excellent guideline document for hints and tips to prevent falls courtesy of the New South Wales Government Health website.
