June 17th, 2026Winter conditions increase risk of falls

As winter conditions set in, we encourage community members to take extra care to reduce the risk of falls.
Urgent care services commonly see an increase in falls-related presentations during winter, particularly among older community members.
Wet and slippery conditions, reduced daylight and cold weather can all increase the risk of falls both inside and outside the home.
Our Urgent Care Centres in Daylesford and Kyneton are open 24/7 should you need assistance
