Compass commences with a functional and psychosocial risk audit to determine action areas related to chronic pain and medication use. One of our experienced health professionals speaks with you about your pain experience and current activity levels.

You, your GP and your Kairros consultant then decide what will be appropriate next steps to improve your health. This might include specialist opinion to confirm the best way to manage your pain and minimise side-effects of medication. Once you and your GP have agreed on a plan, we will meet with you for up to 12 weeks, to discuss and address your health needs, while also completing some gentle exercise.

The Compass Program provides collaborative expertise from the best medical specialists. This means that you won’t have to wait for extensive periods to see a specialist and guarantees you’ll receive the best care available, based on the strongest and most recent research. We aim to address not just your medical needs, but your overall quality of life.

Have you experienced a long-term injury (one year or more), or have you been off work for an extended period due to chronic pain? Compass is specifically designed to help people with long term injuries, or those who have had difficulty in managing their pain with medication.

All costs associated with Compass are covered by your insurance claim.

It is expected that at the end of the Compass program you will have more energy, feel fitter, and be more relaxed. You should feel more confident in your ability to complete daily tasks such as shopping, cooking and meeting up with friends. You should also have established a better and safer medication regime.
