Mates4Mates Falls Prevention Workshop

  • Are you a veteran or a family member who wants to build strength?
  • Are you looking to maintain balance to reduce the likelihood of falls? 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Falls Prevention Workshop might be for you!

What is the Falls Prevention Workshop?

The Falls Prevention Workshop has been designed by our exercise physiologists and physiotherapists to help veterans and their families learn about falls prevention and how to exercise safely and confidently to prevent further falls and improve overall health.  

The group workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to become further educated on how to build or maintain strength and balance through individualised exercise programs to reduce the likelihood of falls. 

Please note, there is a minimum number of participants required for facilitation of this workshop. The workshop may be cancelled if the minimum number is not met.

Veterans who are interested in participating in the Falls Prevention Workshop will need to undertake an expression of interest (EOI) process. This EOI includes a clinical screening to ensure this program is suitable for you.

Submit your expression of interest below. 

Expressions of interest close Friday, 16 May 2025, however, expressions of interest may close sooner if a large volume of applications are received. It is therefore recommended that expressions of interest are submitted as soon as possible. 

Places in the program are dependent on meeting the selection criteria. Please note submitting an expression of interest does not automatically qualify an applicant for the next step in the selection process for this program. 

Places in the workshop are available to veterans and family members registered with Mates4Mates. If you are not a Mates4Mates member and would like to take part, simply complete the Mates4Mates new client form online and our team will be in touch soon. 

If you are interested in upcoming programs, please don't hesitate to contact programs@mates4mates.org.

Complete your expression of interest

To ensure that participants for the program are selected fairly, all EOI submissions will be assessed individually to identify which participants have met the requirements of the EOI and are most suitable to attend the program.

Please note, we are unable to keep EOIs on file as a waitlist for future programs. All programs require individual EOIs to be submitted.

If you selected no because you are not a Mates4Mates member and would like to take part, simply complete the Mates4Mates new client form online and our team will be in touch soon.

Please note: dependent on the program you are applying for, a clinician may ask you during the screening about the possibility of you obtaining a referral for the program. While a referral is not a requirement to participate in the program, it is recommended.
