Community Access Program

The Community Access Program for our residents commenced in mid-November 2021 and this year, over 700 residents have participated in the program by going on a community outing in our refurbished bus fleet.
In addition, we have partnered with Cycling Without Age trishaws. Every week our clients feel the fresh air on a ride around Perth locations. Other outings have included visits to Bunnings; the beach; Jandakot Airport; fishing by the river; experiencing the Christmas Lights and more.
Falls Improvement Program
The Falls Improvement Program commenced late September 2021. This coincided with the launch of the new falls procedure, introducing safety huddles to the fall prevention and management process.
We have also implemented several other strategies including rolling out the Sunbeam program (a supervised progressive resistance training and balance exercise program) to each site, audited falls equipment (sensor mats) and hosted Brightwater’s first Falls Prevention Month in April 2022.
