In September, our Director, Laurance, had the opportunity to speak at the Aged Care Nursing Seminar hosted by the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association at Penrith RSL.

He presented a practical, evidence-based session on falls prevention in aged care, exploring how allied health professionals and nursing teams can work together to reduce falls, promote mobility, and manage complex care needs. The session included nurses from a variety of settings, including in-home care, residential aged care, and hospital environments.

Laurance highlighted how physiotherapists, occupational therapists, exercise physiologists, and podiatrists each contribute to supporting mobility, independence, and wellbeing in aged care. He also shared practical strategies around:
- Selecting and using mobility aids effectively
- Developing targeted exercise programs
- Maintaining good foot health
- Making home and environmental modifications
- Considering how chronic conditions and cognitive decline can influence falls risk

Attendees walked away with actionable insights to strengthen collaboration between nursing and allied health teams, improving safety, mobility, and quality of life for residents and clients.

If your workplace, community organisation, or social group is interested in hosting an education session or workshop like this, we’d love to hear from you!

Bringing Health & Wellness to Your Workplace

Recently, our Managing Director and Physiotherapist, Laurance, joined the 2025 NADO Disability & Aged Care annual staff conference to lead their Health & Wellness Initiative session.

We created a tailored health and wellness video for NADO staff, covering practical tips for staying healthy at work. Exercises were included as one component, and at the conference, Laurance guided attendees through the exercise band routine, bringing the content to life in real time.

It was great seeing the room come alive with movement, laughter, and a shared focus on keeping staff healthy, strong, and supported in their daily work.​

💼​ We can bring this to your team too! Whether it’s part of a conference, AGM, staff development day or wellbeing program, we create sessions that are:
​✅​ Tailored to your staff’s roles and needs

Rochford Place Falls Prevention – Week 7
Chronic Conditions & Falls Risk

🩺 Week 7 of our Falls Prevention Program at Rochford Place focused on how chronic conditions can impact falls risk. We explored the effects of diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and hypertension, and how these lifestyle diseases can influence balance, strength, and overall stability.

The session covered the signs and symptoms to look out for, especially those that may increase vulnerability to falls, as well as practical strategies to manage these conditions. By supporting better health outcomes, we can reduce the risk of falls and promote confidence in daily living.

Understanding the connection between chronic conditions and falls empowers us to take proactive steps towards healthier, safer ageing.

Rochford Place Falls Prevention – Week 5
Foot Health & Falls Prevention

👣 Week 5 of our Falls Prevention Program at Rochford Place was all about Foot Health & Falls Prevention — and how podiatry plays a vital role in keeping people mobile and steady on their feet.

We explored how changes in foot structure and sensation can increase fall risk, and the impact that proper foot care and footwear can have in keeping us steady on our feet. The session also covered practical strategies to support foot health and reduce the risk of tripping or slipping.

When we take care of our feet, we support our whole body, from the ground up.
