What people with Chronic Pain in Figtree usually need help with
Chronic pain affects a large proportion of older Australians, often arising from conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, nerve damage, or previous injuries, and can significantly limit daily activity and quality of life. Home care services through a Home Care Package or the Support at Home program can fund physiotherapy, exercise physiology, psychology, and nursing to support pain management at home. A multidisciplinary approach combining physical therapy, psychological support, and practical care is often the most effective way to manage chronic pain in older people.
For chronic and complex medical conditions, the best starting point is usually identifying whether the main need is nursing, personal care, therapy, or a flexible combination, then comparing local providers who can adjust support when symptoms change.
What people usually compare locally
- • Availability of nursing or clinical staff with experience in the specific condition
- • Flexibility to adjust support at short notice during symptom changes
- • Coordination with local GPs, specialists, and hospital services
- • Whether the provider can deliver both personal care and clinical support through one service

How we rank providers
Rankings in Figtree are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.
- How this list is built. Providers shown here offer physiotherapy, allied health, psychology, nursing, personal care, support work, and occupational therapy, the support types most relevant to chronic pain. They are then ranked by demonstrated experience with chronic pain, providers who have actively claimed and supported chronic pain referrals rank above those who only list it as a capability.
- Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
- Condition-specific track record. Providers who have accepted and worked with chronic pain referrals on Carevo rank above those who only list the condition as a capability. We weight providers using their demonstrated experience with this cohort, not self-declared specialisations.
- Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
- Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
- Local presence. Providers confirmed in Figtree rank above those covering only the broader region.

What happens after you request support in Figtree
1. Identify clinical and daily needs
Work out whether the main gaps are nursing or clinical support, personal care during difficult periods, therapy, or help managing daily routines around variable symptoms.
2. Compare flexible providers
Look for providers who can adjust support hours and intensity when symptoms change. Compare how they coordinate with your medical team and handle urgent or unplanned needs.
3. Confirm medical coordination
Ask how the provider communicates with your GP or specialist, whether nursing staff are available, and what happens if you need to increase or pause support at short notice.
For aged care, confirm whether the provider has nursing staff available, how they coordinate with your GP and specialists, and whether support can be adjusted quickly during periods of increased symptoms.

Understanding Chronic Pain Management in Older Adults
Chronic pain is pain that persists for more than three months and is one of the most common health conditions affecting older Australians. Approximately 1 in 5 Australians over 65 experiences chronic pain, most commonly from arthritis, back pain, neuropathy, and post-surgical conditions. Chronic pain is not simply acute pain that has lasted too long; it involves changes in the nervous system (central sensitisation) where the pain processing system itself becomes part of the problem. This means that the level of pain often does not correspond to the degree of tissue damage, and treating chronic pain differently from acute injury is essential. For older Australians, chronic pain frequently combines with other conditions (depression, mobility impairment, sleep disturbance) to create a complex picture that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Effective chronic pain management involves exercise, psychology, medication review, and practical daily support rather than relying on medication alone.
How chronic pain affects daily life
Chronic pain affects every aspect of daily life. Walking, sitting, standing, lying down, and moving between positions can all cause pain. Sleep is disrupted, leading to fatigue that makes everything harder. Mood is affected: chronic pain is strongly associated with depression and anxiety. Activities that used to bring pleasure (gardening, cooking, socialising) may be avoided because of pain or fear of worsening it. Medications for chronic pain often cause side effects including constipation, drowsiness, and cognitive dulling. Many older Australians with chronic pain withdraw from activities and become deconditioned, which paradoxically increases their pain. The cycle of pain, inactivity, and depression is one of the hardest patterns to break without professional help.
What to look for in a provider
Good chronic pain providers take a multidisciplinary approach and understand that the goal is function and quality of life rather than eliminating pain entirely. Ask whether their team includes physiotherapy, psychology, and practical support, whether they use a biopsychosocial model (addressing physical, psychological, and social factors), and how they help the person gradually increase activity without flare-ups. Red flags include providers who promise to cure chronic pain, who only provide massage or passive treatments without exercise, who increase pain medication without a clear plan, or who discourage activity rather than teaching pacing strategies.
How to access funding
For older Australians, chronic pain support is accessed through My Aged Care (1800 200 422). Home Care Packages fund physiotherapy, exercise physiology, psychology, nursing, and personal care. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme provides lower-level support. Medicare-funded chronic disease management plans provide access to allied health sessions. Pain management clinics (funded through the health system) provide specialist multidisciplinary assessment. Painaustralia provides information and resources.
