DHS Falls Prevention Program projects and contacts

Page contents: Whole of Community | Foothold on Safety (FOS) | Contacts

Whole of Community

Whole of Community projects are implemented by Primary Care Partnerships across a range of settings: acute or sub acute hospitals, residential aged care services and among people living in their own homes. The projects assist individuals, health and other service providers to work together to enable older people to live safely and confidently within their local community.

Foothold on Safety (FOS)

Foothold on Safety projects aim to reduce falls, and the number and severity of injuries from falls among older people who live in their own homes.
