Falling over isn’t part of the aging process

The Team from ACC New Zealand

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 it’s 1 in 2.

Having a fall can be devastating and can often result in a broken bone, which is painful and can take a long time to heal stopping us from doing the things we love.

The good news is that many falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer aims to help reduce the risk of having a fall so we can live an independent and active life.

Having good strength and balance is key to staying on your feet. You can find approved community strength and balance classes in your area and practical information, advice, and resources on reducing the risk of falls.

Live Stronger for Longer and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQSC, MOH and your local community health providers.

The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand is delighted to announce that it has formed a strategic partnership with virtual reality company iStaging and with IT company kloudpro to provide agents with virtual reality tools in a move that could help to transform the industry.

REINZ Members will receive a 10% discount off either an Ultra or Ultimate monthly package, free rotator and free lens, plus free training. Visit reinz.co.nz/member-benefits for the discount code. T&Cs apply.

As agents have been asking REINZ for guidance and help on how to use virtual reality for some time now, this partnership will also offer members with a free training session from IT company kloudpro in order to help them with getting the software set up.

Bindi Norwell, Chief Executive at REINZ says: “The use of VR tools overseas by real estate agents is quite high, whereas only 4% of New Zealand agents are using virtual reality according to our own industry research and that this trend is increasing. We think the partnership with iStaging to provide the VR tools and with kloudpro to provide our members with training on how to use the technology is an excellent opportunity to embrace this digital selling tool and in turn provide a great customer service when it comes to viewing a property.”

Ben Keehan, Director of kloudpro says: “As an agent myself I’ve been using iStaging for my virtual reality tours for vendors for 8 months now and everyone that sees the tours loves them – it’s just like Google Street View and it’s really easy for customers to use. The iStaging VR maker app enables users to directly capture images from your smartphone and is pretty simple to use, but for those who need a little bit of extra help I’m delighted to act as that first port of call to help agents with the tech side of things.”

Join us every Wednesday at 11am and 2pm to learn how to use iStagings VR Maker and VR Editor with our facebook group:

I work full time and couldn't justify the cost of renting a commercial space but was wondering if anyone had some space that they would be willing to sub-let to me in a suitable shop or even fitness facility (or there was some other arrangement that we could come to to allow me to sell my stock directly). If you would like to look at the types of clothes that I sell, the website is www.theactivewearstore.co.nz... Thanks!
