We are working towards a one-stop shop Clinic and Research Centre—The South Australian ME-CFS-FMS Clinic and Research Centre.

Our current projects focus on improving patient care and outcomes, and include:

  • General Practice Multi-pronged management pilot

  • Physiotherapy management of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia – improving outcomes through identifying a range of techniques, skills, and practice experience from working with ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia patients.
  • Piloting & Evaluating of Practice Nurse Care Plans, Health Coaching, and online resources to improve health and quality of life of patients with ME/CFS
  • Establishing TeleHealth medical care services for rural and housebound clients
  • Providing best practice information, education, and referrals with 24/7 support interface and online modules as part of the Care Plan Pilot
  • Supporting research teams, and validating new tests and bio-markers from overseas and the private sector
  • Updating the Fibromyalgia Australia Website and resources– site to include monthly updates/blog which may include direct links for eCare resources
