Healthcare and Community Resources and Links for People with Pain 
Even though we may feel alone with chronic pain, there are so many other people who can help and can share the load. One in five people has chronic pain - maybe the most common medical condition. Here are some places that you can get some social support and connect with others. 
    
Ways To Wellness - Loneliness - Social Isolation 
This ‘social linking’ organisation is only available to people in a certain area of South Brisbane (5km radius around Mt Gravatt). They are lovely people who can often give some suggestions for social/community involvement if you get in touch. 
 
What’s on in Brisbane 
Brisbane City Council community page for fun stuff to do and groups to get involved with. 
 
Home - Chronic Pain Australia 
This is the main consumer group for people with Chronic Pain in Australia. It offers support groups, links to resources etc 
 
Australian Men's Shed Association (AMSA) - Join Our Community
