A Considered Approach to
Pain Care
Your consultation starts with listening: your symptoms, previous treatments and the activities that matter to you. Together, we discuss assessment and treatment options, including rehabilitation and appropriate medical or allied health care, to plan the next step.
“A considered approach to pain care, where you are understood.”

Professional referral guideDo I need a referral?
For self-funded patients, a referral is needed only if you wish to claim a Medicare rebate under Services Australia’s rules. At Sydney Pain Clinic, all patients using third-party funding—including workers compensation (WorkCover), CTP/TAC, DVA and ADF—must supply a referral to attend under these arrangements.
