Falls and balance

Falls are Australia’s number one cause of injury hospitalisation and death, representing 42% of injury hospitalisations and 40% of injury deaths.

Falls requiring hospitalisation are more common in older people and most likely to occur in the home.

Over half of injury hospitalisations from falls involve a fracture.

Rehabilitation programs can help you get back on your feet if falls, balance, or fatigue are impacting everyday life.
