Bridge-to-Best-Home-Safety-Checklist-A4
Purpose of this Checklist
As we age, small changes around the home can make a significant difference to safety, confidence, and independence. Falls are one of the leading causes of injury for older Australians, with many occurring in bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas.
This checklist has been developed by Bridge to Best to help older adults and their families identify common home safety risks and simple changes that may reduce falls and support independent living. It can also be a valuable first step for the 200,000+ Australians currently waiting for approved care or support at home, helping individuals and families identify areas of concern while navigating assessment and approval processes.
Use this checklist as a practical starting point to assess your home environment
