There are falls networks in South Australia which generally hold quarterly or bi-monthly meetings. These meetings typically involve updates from various guest speakers on falls prevention issues, programs and services and include recent research that has been conducted. Some networks involve more formalized meeting criteria such as updates on projects and falls prevention plans. For details of when the next meetings are to be held or to RSVP your attendance please contact the coordinators for these networks. They are listed below:
