Painaustralia
About
Painaustralia’s strategic plan has six principles that guide our work to improve healthcare for people living with pain:
- Recognition of chronic pain as a complex multi-dimensional chronic condition in its own right
- Assessment and treatment of chronic pain must address the physical, psychological and environmental/social factors that play a key role in chronic pain
- Person centred care for chronic pain at all levels of the health System
- Rights and validation of the person in pain and recognition of their families and carers
- Whole of community awareness and responsibility to support people with chronic pain
- Intervention at an early stage of transition from acute (e.g. postoperative) pain to chronic pain
