Falls in older adults have devastating personal consequences and cost our health systems over $3 billion each year. Around 400 older Australians are hospitalised after a fall each day and falls are the 8th leading cause of death in Australia,1 with 6000 fall related deaths each year. However, Australia has no national policy or co-ordination of fall prevention initiatives. The Falls Prevention Alliance Australia (FFPA)2, officially launched in October 2025, brings together community groups, consumers, health professionals, researchers and policy makers to collaboratively advocate for greater community awareness and stronger and unified action to prevent falls. The work is overseen by a Steering Committee, with representatives from around Australia, and the Awareness and Policy Working Groups. The FPAA is supported by NHMRC-funded Centre for Research Excellence in the Prevention of Falls Injuries, the Australia and New Zealand Fall Prevention Society and over 60 community, professional and institutional organisations, including AAG. We have developed evidence reports, infographics and videos, gained media attention with an estimated reach of over 1 million people, promoted the recently launched updated Australian Guidelines for Falls Prevention, hosted a roundtable and policy workshop, made a pre-budget submission and created a central resource hub. Bringing together people with diverse expertise and a common passion for reducing falls has facilitated shared learning and creative strategies. We will build on our achievements and advocate for equitable access to evidence-based interventions to ensure Australians age well and reduce falls. References 1. Australian Bureau of Statistics.
