The Interdisciplinary Persistent Pain Centre (IPPC) offers comprehensive care for individuals managing persistent pain.

Our team includes pain specialists, psychiatrists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, pharmacists, and nurses.

We provide support, education and therapy to help individuals manage their persistent pain.

We work with patients, their GPs, and other community services to develop long-term self-management skills, improve health, and enhance the quality of life through supported self-management.


Treatment is offered in both group and individual formats to maximise learning and support. The IPPC services are time-limited with care returned to the patient’s GP within 12 months of their initial assessment.


Referrals or Requests for Advice can be made through Smart Referrals. Exclusion criteria and referral guidelines are available in HealthPathways: Non-acute Persistent Pain Assessment.
