PAIN LINK HELPLINE 1300 340 357

“Waking up every morning in pain can be overwhelming... thanks for helping”

APMA’s website aims to offer pain management options and information for people with pain, families and friends. We hope that health care professionals also find the site interesting and informative. APMA advocates for recognition of chronic pain as a disease in its own right and for better health and community services for people with ongoing pain and believes pain management is a human healthcare right.

APMA provides specialised community support such as:

• Pain Link helpline 1300 340 357 for the cost of a local call
• Peer support groups
• Community awareness of chronic/persistent pain via outreach to shopping centres and the community sector
• Self management presentations to Seniors organizations – clients, carers, staff
• Evidence based persistent pain information and pain management options
• Quarterly Wellbeing newsletters
• Advocacy to improve health and community services for those with persistent pain in line with the National Pain Strategy
