Co-designing an exercise and fall prevention program for people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds: MOVE Together

Published: 6 April 2023

Exercise is a great way for older people to stay strong, healthy and to reduce their risk of falls. However, many older people do not do enough exercise to reduce fall risk. Current exercise programs have been designed for people from English speaking backgrounds and may not be suitable for people from other cultures or who speak languages other than English.

The aim of this project is to work together with older people from Italian, Chinese and Arabic speaking communities, their caregivers, and healthcare and professional workers to develop a program to support older people from these communities to exercise.
