  • Case managers with approved funding
  • Claims management companies
  • Self-referring clients with chronic pain

Written confirmation of funding is required before assessment can begin. We support adults aged 18+ experiencing chronic pain of any origin.

Our Referral Journey

Initial Assessment

Once a referral is confirmed, one of our specialist assessors will arrange a home visit. Before this, we’ll ask the client to complete questionnaires to help us understand their challenges and goals.

Assessments follow a biopsychosocial model — evaluating physical, psychological and social factors contributing to pain.
