• Around 30 - 60% people aged over 65 years fall each year and 10-20% of those falls result in injury, hospitalisation
or death
• By 2035 the number of people over 65 in New Zealand is expected to double to 1.2 million
• The lifetime costs to ACC of older people falls in 2013 was $351 million
• Falls account for 40% of ACC claims for those aged 65-69 years and 60% of all claims for the over 85 years old
