Call for Abstracts

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.

Call for Pre Conference Workshop Submissions now open (Deadline Friday 4th May 2018)

We are calling for proposals to facilitate a three hour, hands-on, pre conference workshop. These workshops will run during the afternoon on Sunday 18th November, and are designed to complement the conference program with a focus on applied knowledge and skills. These workshops should actively engage participants to explore issues in depth in an area of clinical practice, education, management, research or policy.

The pre conference workshops are an additional cost to the conference registration fee. The number of pre conference workshops is limited, as they complement other sessions across the conference program.
