HealthPathways
HealthPathways are clinical management and referral resources designed to be used during consultations with GPs. Each area in Australia has a Primary Health Network (PHN) that adapts a HealthPathway to make it relevant to their local health services.
In 2023, Emerge Australia partnered with the North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network to develop a HealthPathway for ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).
PEM Communique
A communique written for clinicians by clinicians and researchers for ME/CFS awareness week 2026.
We have a PEM eLearning module under development, but all of our webinars and courses centre PEM to ensure you take home a helpful tip on how to recognise and safely manage this key symptom.
Top ten tips for understanding PEM
This is a short 10-minute video for health professionals to recognise and understand PEM.
Key reminders for practice:
- PEM can be hidden
- Pushing activity or exercise can make patients sicker
- Deconditioning is secondary – PEM must be managed first and takes priority
- Pacing is a core management strategy to stabilise symptoms and reduce harm
- Rest is proactive, not a last resort

Creating an accessible healthcare practice
Attending medical appointments or testing centers may exacerbate symptoms for patients with ME/CFS or long COVID.
People with ME/CFS often present well, however they will likely need rest before and after an appointment. For those with more severe symptoms, clinic visits may not be possible.
Telehealth is a valuable resource for all patients to manage their energy.
ME/CFS resource for school nurses
School nurses can make a big difference in the life of a student with ME/CFS. School nurses are well placed to work in partnership with the student, their family, teaching staff, and the learning and support teams within the school, developing appropriate accommodations to allow students with ME/CFS to continue to attend school and connect with their peers.
Please read more about supporting students with ME/CFS in a school environment by downloading our flyer.
