Leif Tunell is one of the best practitioners I’ve encountered. Back when Daniel Waldman was there at the clinic whom was one of the finest acupuncturists I’ve ever known — I didn’t think anyone could match his skill. But Leif is absolutely on par. He is attentive, highly professional, knowledgeable, and wonderfully open-minded. I felt truly listened to, and the treatment was exceptional. Highly recommended. Thank you, Leif.
Truly one of the best acupuncture/ massage I’ve had in a while. Flew in from San Diego to visit friends and that 15h non-stop flight is a doozy. Old injury lit up and after trying to “deal with it” for a week I went looking for relief. Found Leif on google and was not disappointed. Not only did he find exactly what was hurting, he was able to provide immediate relief. 10/10 recommend
I had an amazing experience with both acupuncture and massage here. The place is easy to find, clean, and has a relaxing vibe. The therapist is professional and clearly knows what he’s doing – his touch was spot on. I’ve tried a few places around town, but this is by far the best. I’ll definitely be back!
This place is a sanctuary and Leif is a healer. I first came to the center because I had a hip misalignment and I was cured in 2 weeks. Years later I returned on a trip back to Australia for neck and back issues and was healed in days. If you suffer from pain in any way this is the path to relief. You’re in good hands with Leif.
Lief is the best pain relief practitioner I have ever had, I’ve had numerous injuries and issues with my neck, shoulders, hips and legs, he has managed to have me moving so freely with little assistance on medication. I absolutely highly recommend his professional and experienced service.

QHow much does a session cost at The Pain Relief and Wellness Clinic?
Fees are not listed here, so it is worth asking when you book. Across fifteen Australian clinics that publish their prices, an initial consultation runs $100 to $190, with most sitting between $105 and $145. Follow-up sessions run $50 to $130, most commonly $80 to $120.
The first appointment costs more almost everywhere, typically $20 to $40 more, because it includes a case history alongside the treatment and usually runs longer. Roughly a quarter of clinics will not quote you a full price list online.
Three things worth asking on the same call: whether herbs or cupping are charged separately — they usually are — whether the clinic offers on-the-spot health fund claiming, and what the cancellation policy is, because some charge a full session fee inside 24 hours.

QCan I claim a session at The Pain Relief and Wellness Clinic on Medicare or private health?
Private health, usually yes. Acupuncture sits under natural therapies on most extras policies, generally pooled with remedial massage under one shared annual limit. As an example of the shape, HCF's Top Extras pays $40 a visit with an annual limit rising from $300 to $500 by year three, and nib's Top Extras pays 75% back against a $400 combined limit. Waiting periods of two months are standard. Recognition is fund-by-fund, so check that this practitioner is recognised by your fund before booking.
Medicare, only if your practitioner is a doctor. The four MBS acupuncture items all require a medical practitioner. A registered acupuncturist who is not also a doctor cannot bill them, and no other item covers their services. Acupuncture is also not on the eligible list for a GP Chronic Condition Management plan.
