The Australian Pain Society (APS) was formed in 1979 as the Australian Chapter of the International Association for the Study of Pain. It is a not-for-profit organisation and is directed by an elected honorary council. Annual subscriptions are set at the minimal level necessary to cover administrative costs of the society. The APS is truly a multi disciplinary organisation with representatives among its members from many medical specialties, as well as physiotherapy, psychology, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacology, general practitioners, other health professionals and the basic sciences. The membership now numbers in excess of 800. The APS aims to minimise pain and related suffering through advocacy and leadership in clinical practice, education and research.
