Meet the TeamInjury Management and Prevention Program
The Injury Management and Prevention Program aims to promote the health and wellbeing of dancers, allowing them to perform at their optimum level. It is also intended to contribute to the body of knowledge in dance medicine worldwide. While it has been customised for The Australian Ballet, this program is suitable for any dance company that wishes to use it as a guide to implementing systems and processes for the prevention of injury.
This innovative program was recognised in the prestigious 2007 WorkSafe Victoria Awards: The Australian Ballet received the award for Best Strategy for Health and Safety Management.
