Course Overview

This course has been developed to give residential aged care workers an understanding of the need for a falls prevention program, as well as how to effectively establish and maintain a program.

Kineo is committed to improving the lives of people living in aged care. We focus on providing high-quality training to one of Australia’s busiest and fastest-growing sectors. We understand that the aged care sector is heavily compliance-driven and that staff require ongoing training to stay up to date with best practice. 

We aim to provide your learners with training that is current, engaging and won’t bore them out of their chairs. We’re working with subject matter experts who are as passionate about providing as high a quality level of care to consumers as we are to providing high quality training. 

This course is useful as standalone training, or paired with our existing aged care courses to provide a holistic approach to aged care.
