Give the Gift of Independence this Christmas
Give the Gift of Independence this Christmas
Every day, hundreds of older West Australians are hospitalised because of falls. Beyond the physical injuries, many face long recoveries, loss of confidence, and the fear of falling again often leading to isolation or permanent disability.
Falls are one of the greatest health challenges facing our ageing population, costing the WA health system an estimated $4.7 billion each year.
However, with early intervention, most of these falls can be prevented. That’s why we’re proud to support Professor Anne-Marie Hill, whose research is transforming how we prevent falls and promote healthy ageing across Western Australia.
Her studies are helping older adults build strength, improve balance, and regain confidence through practical, evidence-based programs delivered in the community and at home. Her findings are already shaping national guidelines and changing how hospitals and health professionals help people stay on their feet.
“Being able to talk to an experienced nurse on the phone made me feel that it wasn’t just me trying to care for my dad at home. After talking to her, I always felt better and not so isolated and alone.” — Carer, Professor Hill’s recent trial
Professor Hill’s research shows that something as simple as a supportive phone call can make a powerful difference. By improving communication between carers, patients, and healthcare professionals, her work helps families feel more prepared, supported, and confident in caring for their loved ones.
This Christmas, you can help fund vital research that prevents falls, reduces avoidable hospitalisations, and helps older West Australians stay active and independent.
Your gift will:
- Fund research that prevents life-changing injuries
- Support programs that strengthen independence and confidence
- Help older West Australians stay connected to their families and communities
Together, we can help our loved ones stay well, stay strong, and stay on their feet.
