Free Pain Clinics in Australia

I am slowly adding information here about Pain Clinics around Australia that can help with Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions. 

As you probably know Fibro is a condition that we are often told requires a multidiscilinary approach and this is what these clinics offer.

The Living Well with Persistent Pain program is offered to patients at no cost, and utilises local primary health care workforce to support patients in their pain management in the community. It provides a holistic self-management course, case coordination, group sessions and one-on-one allied health services.
