SUMMARY:Preventing Falls and Building Communities: A Local Government Approach
DESCRIPTION:Local governments play a significant role in developing\, coordinating and delivering injury prevention\, safety policies and programs in their local area. Local governments’ responsibility for health can include encouraging: health promotion behaviours\, opportunities for social connection and recreational participation to increase and maintain physical and mental wellbeing. \nFalls are a significant public health issue in Western Australia. 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 fall each year.
