* Meetings for discussion of falls related issues;
* Dissemination of research findings both local and international;
* Sharing resources developed and exploration of opportunities to combine resources in joint initiatives;
* Encouragement of collaborative projects and research;
* To act as a group to influence policy;
* To liaise with NSW Health to provide information on current State/Commonwealth issues in relation to falls and
* Maintenance of resources pertinent to the field.
The main purpose of the network is to share knowledge, expertise, and resources on falls injury prevention for older people.
