About us

Stay On Your Feet WA® is a statewide falls prevention program aimed at reducing the incidence and severity of fall-related injuries among seniors.

Key areas of our program include:

• developing partnerships to encourage falls prevention initiatives across the health networks
• resource development
• investigating falls risk factors and risk reduction strategies
• awareness raising and education
• volunteer program

The program began in Western Australia around 1996 in the South West region following on from the successful New South Wales program. In 1998 the Department of Health Injury Prevention Branch officially adopted the Stay On Your Feet WA® model.

Many groups, agencies and individuals have contributed to the program over the years, including the Injury Control Council of WA, contracted as a key service provider since 2001.
