Mates4Mates Online Pain Education Workshop

  • Are you a veteran experiencing chronic pain?
  • Do you want to better understand how pain can impact your physical health?
  • Are you looking for ways to increase your quality of life?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Online Pain Education Workshop might be for you!

What is the Online Pain Education Workshop?

The Online Pain Education Workshop is designed and delivered by our exercise physiologists and physiotherapists to help veterans gain a better understanding and greater confidence in managing their chronic pain.

The online workshop will take veterans through a group education session run over two hours, where you will learn about the impacts that pain can have on physical wellbeing and strategies that can be implemented to manage your pain and increase your quality of life.

This workshop will be facilitated via the doxy.me platform. To participate, you will need:

  • PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone with video calling capabilities
  • Internet connection capable of sustaining an online video call

Please note, there is a minimum number of participants required for facilitation of this workshop. The workshop may be cancelled if the minimum number is not met.

Upcoming Workshops

Online

Our next workshop will run online on Thursday, 15 May 2025, from 10:00am to 12:00pm AEST.

Veterans who are interested in participating in the Online Pain Education Workshop will need to undertake an expression of interest (EOI) process. This EOI includes a clinical screening to ensure this program is suitable for you.  

Submit your expression of interest below. 

Expressions of interest close Monday, 28 April 2025, however, expressions of interest may close sooner if a large volume of applications are received. It is therefore recommended that expressions of interest are submitted as soon as possible. 

Places in the program are dependent on meeting the selection criteria. Please note submitting an expression of interest does not automatically qualify an applicant for the next step in the selection process for this program. 

Places in the workshop are available to veterans and families registered with Mates4Mates. If you are not a Mates4Mates member and would like to take part, simply complete the Mates4Mates new client form online and our team will be in touch soon.

If you are interested in upcoming programs, please don't hesitate to contact programs@mates4mates.org.

Online Pain Education Workshop expression of interest

To ensure that participants for the program are selected fairly, all EOI submissions will be assessed individually to identify which participants have met the requirements of the EOI and are most suitable to attend the program.

Please note, we are unable to keep EOIs on file as a waitlist for future programs. All programs require individual EOIs to be submitted.

If you selected no because you are not a Mates4Mates member and would like to take part, simply complete the Mates4Mates new client form online and our team will be in touch soon.
