A global initiative towards falls prevention and management
Creating standardized World Clinical Practice Guidelines for Falls Prevention and Management that can be adapted and used in different settings and countries. Our effort is complementary to existing guidelines and aims to include new scientific discoveries and advances. We are a team of world experts in falls prevention and management spanning 35 countries and 5 continents as well as a number of collaborating societies and organizations with a focus on ageing.

The 10th Biennial Australia and New Zealand Falls Prevention Conference will for the first time be run as a joint conference with the World Congress on Falls and Postural Stability at the Perth Convention Centre, Western Australia, 26 – 28 November 2023. The 1st World Congress on Falls and Postural Stability was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in December 2019 – a joint initiative of the Malaysian Society of Geriatric Medicine and the British Geriatrics Society, while the Australian and New Zealand Falls Prevention Society (ANZFPS) has been hosting a biennial conference since 2004.
The conference will showcase the latest research outcomes, program implementation, training, and policy and planning innovations in falls prevention in Australia, New Zealand and internationally. The conference will be complemented with practical pre-conference workshops to support skill development and implementation of key aspects of falls prevention.
