Did you know that 1 in 4 people over the age of 65 will fall at least once during the next 12 months?

 

Falls are preventable. Act now!

 

Did you know a fall only takes a second, but you can lose years that would have been better spent enjoying an appropriately active life?

 

Take simple steps to make the public environment as “fall proof” as possible!

  • Take your time getting on and off buses and trains

  • Do your shopping at “quiet” times

  • Report any spills in shopping centres to the management

  • Report any uneven footpaths to Council

  • Wear safe shoes with slip resistant soles to help you keep your balance

  • If you use a walking aid, glasses, or hearing aid, always remember to take them with you.
