Federal Budget submission 2022-23

In the context of the Federal election to be held before the end of May next year and the impact of the pandemic and emerging challenges facing our health system, we are currently preparing our latest Budget Submission for the 2022-2023 Budget.

We will have more details for you early next year, however our focus will be on ensuring funding is provided for activities and programs outlined in the National Action Plan for Pain Management in the areas of awareness and education, improved multidisciplinary ‘hub and spoke’ pain programs and co-ordinated pain research. 

Watch this space for further details.
