It’s a confronting statistic that underscores an urgency of action in falls prevention and management in older people, says Associate Professor Cathy. The good news is that there is really strong evidence that falls can be prevented. Australians are world leaders in this area.

Cathy is the inaugural associate professor of physiotherapy at Western Health and the University of Melbourne, co-chair of the Victorian Falls Prevention Alliance and the project director of the Allied Health Professionals Research at the Australian Institute for Musculoskeletal Science.
