•People will be invited to participate provided they meet the following inclusion criteria:-
•a) Admitted as an inpatient to an Eastern Health hospital
•b) Adults greater than or equal to 50 years of age because from 50 years of age risk of falling and incidence rates of hip fracture rise dramatically
•c) Primary diagnosis of hip fracture as determined by the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition codes S72.00 - S72.11
•d) Living in a private residence in the community prior to the hip fracture
•e) Not demonstrating risk factors at admission that would suggest a length of stay greater than 28 days (eg. Particularly complex social situation or extensive co-morbidities)

•Participants will be excluded if they are:
•a) Admitted from a residential care facility because this population would not be expected to receive a home assessment visit
•b) Patients who fracture their hip during an inpatient admission because this would not be a primary diagnosis
•c) Assessed as having impaired cognition and do not have a carer or responsible person who can give informed consent
•d) Planned to be discharged to a residential aged care facility because a home visit would not normally be considered as a component of the discharge plan for these patients
•e) Living in a location more than 1 hour by car from the hospital because it would not be practical to complete a home assessment visit due to distance
