“I want to take this opportunity to recognise… Dr Cathie Sherrington from The George Institute for International Health, because they’ve been doing some of the work to really increase our understanding and our awareness of what makes a difference…. Exercise is important, but it’s not just exercise, but particular types that can really make that difference in terms of improving people’s balance and strength and therefore reducing the likelihood of falls.” The Hon. Carmel Tebutt, Deputy Premier, and Minister for Health, Parliament of NSW, Australia
