We help people with persistent pain build fulfilling lives through a multidisciplinary care approach that includes specialist pain medicine and allied health services such as physiotherapy, psychology, occupational therapy, and dietetics.
Every person living with persistent pain knows how hard accessing the right supports is.
If you’re reading this, you probably do too.
One of the main causes is fragmented care.
Care becomes fragmented when it’s provided by multiple, unconnected medical and allied health practitioners.
Instead of your care team working together with the same information and same goals, each practitioner approaches your care from one perspective with limited information.
Fragmented care leads to more appointments, repeated tests, higher costs – and, in some cases, falling through the gaps.
Managing Pain Clinic was founded to change that.
As a Managing Pain patient, your care will be led by a specialist pain physician.
They’ll develop a care plan and work with your GP and in-house clinicians to support you.
Think of them like your care coordinator – someone who understands pain, who knows the impact of living with it, and who’s committed to helping you get yours under control.
That’s known as integrated or multidisciplinary care.
It’s been proven to be faster, more affordable, and more effective than fragmented care.
For our patients, multidisciplinary care is a painchanger.
Pain is holistic.
Care should be too.

Persistent pain can’t always be fixed – but it can be managed.
With the right support, you can bring your pain under control.
You may still have flare-ups and bad days, but your life will feel like it’s worth living.
Managed pain means you wake up with a sense of hope, not dread, because there are things to look forward to – a life that happens despite your pain.
Pain changes you.
Many people living with persistent pain feel hopeless about the future, sceptical about the healthcare system, and deeply, constantly exhausted.
Pain also changes your body.
Over time, your CNS can become extra sensitive, which makes management harder and leads to worse outcomes.
We strongly believe that early intervention is the best way to prevent the vicious spiral of pain.
If your pain lasts longer than 3 months, multidisciplinary pain management should always be the first referral your GP makes.
Our pain specialists can diagnose your pain and deliver treatments.
Our allied health practitioners can perform interventions and share advice.
Ultimately, though, you are in control of your pain journey.
Our aim is to empower you to manage your persistent pain. We help you understand your pain, give you the tools to manage it, and enable supported self-care.
Learn about the basics of pain, discover screening tools and other resources, and explore pain-related conditions and interventions.
If you’re a GP or specialist, you can help your patients get the multidisciplinary care they need. Make a referral, request more information, or discuss a patient’s situation with one of our pain physicians.
