Stand Up Right - Stay Upright! Building falls prevention capacity through workforce development was one of five demonstration projects funded across Australia under the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing National Falls Prevention for Older People Initiative. Stand Up Right - Stay Upright! commenced in Tasmania in May 2002 and was completed in May 2005. The project aimed to establish best practice in falls and falls injury prevention for community dwelling older people. Particular emphasis was placed on the implementation of evidence-based best practice, and on a collaborative multi-disciplinary approach.
