The Conference
The 11th Biennial Australia and New Zealand Falls Prevention Conference will be held at the Sofitel Wentworth Hotel in Sydney. This is the third time the conference has returned to Sydney since 2004, when the Australia and New Zealand Falls Prevention Society hosted it for the first time.
The conference, themed “Bridging the Gap: Research to Implementation”, will showcase the latest research, 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. The exciting program will feature new items including a lived experience presentation, a three-minute thesis competition for PhD students and a session for prize finalists.
The 11th Biennial Australia and New Zealand Falls Prevention Conference will be held face-to-face, however if there are sufficient virtual registrations, sessions will be recorded and available for viewing after the event.
We look forward to welcoming you to share in this high quality scientific and social program, and hope you also visit some of the many attractions while in Sydney and the beautiful surrounding areas of New South Wales.
