Work With Us

A Shared-Care Multidisciplinary Pain Management Pathway

Pathways to Pain Management is a structured, evidence-informed pain education and support pathway designed for use alongside primary care and allied health treatment.

We work with GPs and allied health clinicians through a shared-care model, providing education, coordination, and a multidisciplinary structure that supports, not replaces, your clinical care.

Your client remains your client. We add the program framework around your care.

How the Model Works

A Plug-In MDT Pathway — Not a Client Transfer Program

Our program provides:

Structured pain education
Client preparation and activation
Multidisciplinary assessment pathways
Care coordination and navigation support
GP communication and case conferencing
Outcome tracking and reporting

Partner clinicians provide their discipline-specific care within this coordinated pathway.

Think of the program as an MDT overlay and coordination spine — not a replacement service.

Program Recognition

Formally endorsed by Painaustralia, Australia’s national peak body for pain advocacy and policy.

Recipient — 2024 Pain Sector Award for Best Multidisciplinary Care Program, recognising excellence in coordinated pain care.

For Allied Health Clinicians

Join the Provider Network

Allied health partners can both:

✅ Refer their own clients into the program
✅ Receive appropriate program clients needing their discipline

When You Refer a Client

Your client remains under your care for your discipline
Program education reinforces your clinical messaging
We support engagement between visits
MDT input can be added where appropriate
Care plans are shared and coordinated

When We Refer to You

Program participants may be matched to you based on:
- Discipline
- Location
- Availability
- Existing treating relationship
- Client preference

We operate a shared-care, referral-reciprocal model. We don’t take clients away — we build structured support around your care.

For General Practitioners

GP Referral Pathway

GPs can refer patients into the program at any time.

Formal registration is optional. Most practices refer when clinically appropriate — no subscription or ongoing commitment is required.

Registered GP practices can optionally receive:

Referral templates
Practice resources
Program updates
Case conference coordination support
Patient progress summaries

The program is designed to complement usual GP care and reduce the burden of persistent pain management in short consultations.

GP Referral Resources

Education Partners (Invitation Based)

Education Partner Role

Education Partners are experienced clinicians drawn from our active provider network by invitation.

They contribute to structured education sessions and learning components within the program.

Education Partner roles are offered based on:

Clinical experience
Program alignment
Participant feedback
Communication capability
Network participation

We welcome expressions of interest from clinicians who wish to be considered for future invitations.
