Injury & Falls Networks Priorities

Injury imposes a considerable burden on the community in terms of morbidity and mortality. It accounts for a substantial component of health care budgets, and is responsible for costs borne by other sectors, and by individuals, families and communities. Injuries are preventable and injury prevention has been identified as a national health priority area by the Commonwealth and State and Territory governments.
