The purpose of the assessment is to identify risk factors for falling, and to make recommendations to the client and their GP aimed at reducing the risk of future falls and injury. The recommendations are fed back to the client and GP by letter.

The main areas of falls risk that we provide advice and recommendations for are:

- Health and medications
- Balance and mobility
- Dizziness
- Fear of falling
- Vision and glasses
- Falls hazards in the home environment
- Need for extra supports or assistance
- Physical activity and exercise
- Feet and shoes
- Continence
- Nutrition
- Osteoporosis and increased risk of injury

Rehabilitation input is not provided by the clinic however we are closely linked to local community rehabilitation and community health services, so direct referrals can be made following assessment.

Further information on eligibility and exclusions is available in the brochure and service criteria.
