Professor Kim Delbaere has made major contributions to identifying risk factors for falls and sub-optimal ageing. With a background in physiotherapy, she has dedicated her research career to falls prevention, exercise interventions and the use of innovative health technology. Her overarching vision is for older Australians to understand and navigate better health trajectories through self-management. In addition to her research, she also uses advocacy and commercialisation strategies to extend the reach of her work to a broader audience.
