ANZFPSOn Friday 29th April 2022, a brainstorming session led by CRE-Prevention of Falls Injuries – Prof Cathie Sherrington, ANZ Fall Prevention Society – Prof Kim Delbaere and NSW Falls Prevention and Healthy Ageing Network – Prof Stephen Lord was held on what we can do differently to increase focus on fall prevention in community dwellers in policy and program funding in NSW and nationally. As a result, a Falls action plan was devised, and a page focused on action is now available on the ANZ Fall prevention Society page: https://www.anzfallsprevention.org/action-on-falls-prevention/.
