Interdisciplinary Persistent Pain Centre

Our mission is to inspire hope and get people back to living a valued life through effective evidence-based pain management.

We provide support, education and therapy to help individuals manage their persistent pain. Our approach focuses on the impact of pain on daily life rather than the cause. We work with patients, their General Practitioners (GPs), and other community services to develop long-term self-management skills, improve health, and enhance the quality of life through supported self-management. Treatment is offered in both group and individual formats to maximise learning and support. The IPPC services are time-limited with care returned to the patient’s GP within 12 months of their initial assessment.

We offer a variety of group and individual appointments with members of our interdisciplinary team. We can help you to understand the services that are available, so that you can make informed choices and optimise your care. These programs and consultations benefit you to increase your activity and improve your quality of life despite the presence of pain.

• Up to date evidence based contemporary pain science education.
• Help to reflect on your pain journey and gain greater understanding of the impact of pain in your life.
• Assist with adjusting to the life changes caused by pain.
• Identify your values and whether you are engaging with what is important to you.
