Promoting Independent Living Through Balance and Strength

Maintaining independence is a priority for many older Australians. Our program is designed to address the risks associated with falls

1 in 4 older people (aged 65 and over) living in private dwellings live alone. (aihw.gov.au)
68% of Australians aged 50 and over want to remain in their own homes as they grow older. (thecareside.com.au)
30% of Australians aged 65 and older experience at least one fall each year, with falls being responsible for over 65% of injury-related hospitalisations in this age group. (health.gov.au)
Falls-related injuries contribute to over 138 deaths per 100,000 people in those aged 65 and older.
