🚴‍♂️ Preparations are underway in Baringa for the final stop of the Pain Revolution 2025 Rural Outreach Tour this evening, with the ride set to finish tomorrow at 3pm in Happy Valley, Caloundra.

As platinum sponsor, we’re proud to support this initiative that shines a spotlight on one of Australia’s most pressing health issues—chronic pain. Across 800km in just 8 days, conversations with community members and local clinicians have emphasised the importance of rethinking pain, building health literacy and strengthening evidence-based care pathways.

CCQ riders Tom Fellow-Smith and local psychologist Jay Beckley, have been on the frontline of this challenge, joining 20 other riders. Together, they’ve helped raise over $74,903 (and counting!) in vital funds to support ongoing pain education and community awareness.

🔹 Jay: https://2025-pain-revolution-rural-outreach-tour.raiselysite.com/jay-beckley

The tour is proof that when communities, clinicians and organisations join up, we can shift the story on chronic pain and create better outcomes for people living with it. Together, we can rethink chronic pain and reshape the future of care.

Good news for Caloundra, Buderim and Gladstone! Three new Medicare Urgent Care Clinics (UCCs) are planned for our region, and applications are now open for providers to operate them (via an open tender process).

UCCs offer same-day, non-life-threatening care close to home at no cost with Medicare. They’re designed to complement local general practice and link with hospital and ambulance services, so people get the right care sooner and stay connected to their usual care team.

What this means for these communities:

✅ Timely care for sprains, minor fractures, infections, cuts and common illnesses
✅ No cost, walk-in care with clear pathways back to your regular GP
✅ Less travel and time away from work, school or caring responsibilities
✅ Extended access hours, with UCCs operating 7 days

📅 Tender applications close 12 noon AEST, 10 September 2025.

Services are planned to commence in December 2025.

🔗 Interested providers can visit our Tenders & Grants page: https://c2coast.org.au/tenders-and-grants

Please note: CCQ cannot discuss tender specifics in comments or DMs. All enquiries should be submitted via the TenderLink portal or email tenders@c2coast.org.au.

These new clinics will join existing service locations in Rockhampton, Hervey Bay and Bundaberg.
