What Drives Rubix Health
Bridging the Gap in Pain Care
Empowering doctors and patients to navigate the challenge of delivering excellent health care and self care to transform the lives of those living with persistent pain.
THE PERSISTENT PAIN CHALLENGE
A Complex and Burdensome Problem
Persistent pain affects one in five Australians and is responsible for more disability and distress than any other health condition. It impacts every aspect of life and costs the healthcare system billions annually.
Yet, patients often face long waiting lists, fragmented care, and limited access to effective treatments, especially those who are socially disadvantaged or live in rural or remote areas.
Implementing a Solution is Challenging
Despite clear evidence that multidisciplinary care, pain education, graded activity, and self-management are the most effective approaches, three significant barriers remain:
1.
Health professionals often lack the skills, confidence, and support to address persistent pain
2.
Patients frequently feel misunderstood and unsupported in their journey.
3.
Funding and access to quality services remain inadequate, particularly in rural and remote regions.
Overcoming Barriers to Pain Care Starts with General Practice.
With expertise in care coordination, health promotion, and patient education, GPs are uniquely placed to guide treatment and connect patients with the right support. Rubix Health was founded to strengthen this foundation—enabling GPs with evidence-based tools and empowering patients with knowledge to manage their pain actively.
