Services are delivered in accredited private hospitals and clinic locations across Melbourne, with patients accessing care via GP or specialist referral and partial Medicare rebates.

The core portfolio includes medication optimization, image-guided nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, and IV infusion therapies, supported by physiotherapy, psychology, and dietetics. Their specialized programs address specific conditions including CRPS, trigeminal neuralgia, post-herpetic neuralgia, sacroiliac joint pain, and post-surgical pain (PSPS-T2).

Partnerships

Seven partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Melbourne Neurosurgeons (Network)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerPain Specialists Australia works with a network of neurosurgeons in Melbourne for collaborative patient management. This includes microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery for trigeminal neuralgia, review of post-MVD cases where pain recurs, consideration of repeat operations, and coordination for stereotactic radiosurgery. The relationship is bidirectional — PSA refers patients for surgical evaluation and receives post-surgical patients for ongoing pain management.
• Orthopaedic Surgeons (Melbourne)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerPSA collaborates with experienced orthopaedic surgeons in Melbourne for patients requiring surgical intervention, particularly for knee pain and hip pain where structural damage is suspected. They work together to ensure coordinated, multidisciplinary care when structural intervention is required.
• Referral Network (Neurosurgeons, Neurologists, Psychiatrists, Rehabilitation Experts, Orthopaedic Surgeons, Rheumatologists, Gynaecologists, Plastic and Hand Surgeons, GPs)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe clinic has built relationships with a broad network of medical experts including neurosurgeons, neurologists, psychiatrists, rehabilitation physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, gynaecologists, plastic and hand surgeons, and GPs. These experts are drawn upon as needed to provide the best possible outcomes for patients.
• Facial Pain/Trigeminal Neuralgia NeurosurgeonscoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerPSA works with expert facial pain and trigeminal neuralgia neurosurgeons who perform procedures such as balloon compression and glycerol neurolysis (Racz procedure) for TN patients. PSA supports these surgical partners and arranges coordination for patients considering these interventions.
• Neurologists (for MS-associated TN and secondary TN)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerFor patients with trigeminal neuralgia associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) or other secondary causes, PSA co-manages care with neurologists. If a patient does not have a neurologist, PSA arranges one.
• Accredited Private Hospitals (Melbourne)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerPSA pain specialists perform interventional procedures within accredited private hospitals across Melbourne, including facilities in Richmond, Heidelberg, and Bayside areas. Procedures including spinal cord stimulation, intrathecal drug delivery, and advanced neuromodulation are conducted in these hospital settings.
• Spine and Neurosurgeons (for SIJ and spinal surgery cases)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerFor severe sacroiliac joint pain cases requiring surgical fusion, PSA works with some of the most experienced spine and neurosurgeons in Melbourne and wider afield. Collaborative management ensures patients receive appropriate surgical or non-surgical pathways.
