Falls prevention month workshops
Join our free one-hour workshops this April, at four Uniting AgeWell community hubs across Melbourne.
Spaces are limited – secure your place today.
After the age of 65, one in three people will have a fall each year. Most are preventable.
Muscle strength and balance decline faster than most people expect, but both can be improved.
Join a free talk and hands-on balance class at a community hub near you.
Each workshop includes:
- 20-minute falls prevention talk
- A tour of the hub
- 20-minute sample balance exercise class
Places are limited to 8 per workshop.
No referral is needed to attend the free workshops
About the workshops
Each workshop runs for one hour with our Allied Health team; physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, occupational therapists, podiatrists and nurses.
Groups are small and informal, with plenty of time to ask questions. Wear comfortable clothing and flat, closed-toe shoes.
The physios are very good here. They guide us through all the exercises. If we do something wrong, they come in and tell us to do it the proper way — why it's done, what for.
About our community hubs
Uniting AgeWell community hubs are purpose-built health and wellness centres for older people in Melbourne. Each hub includes allied health services, group fitness classes, wellness programs and a client lounge; open to people living in the local area.
