Osteoporosis New Zealand was pleased to be part of an initiative led by Hato Hone St John, along with ACC and Wellington Free Ambulance to create a practical community resource designed to raise awareness with regards to falls prevention and most importantly aid in keeping people living independently at home for longer.

Falls are the most common cause of injury in older people. A fall can happen anywhere and have serious consequences – not just for the older adult, but also for friends, whānau, and family caring for them. Falling over is not an inevitable part of the ageing process, and many falls are preventable.
