Chronic Pain Australia is a voice for the 1 in 3 Australians experiencing chronic pain. Chronic Pain Australia was a lead organisation in the development of the National Pain Strategy. We conducted research through the Pain is Not Invisible Project to determine the needs of Australians in pain and base our programs on these findings Although chronic pain is common across Australia, we are very concerned about the plight of rural Australians in pain. Chronic Pain Australia wants to help ordinary Australians understand chronic pain so that we can all be a part of the solution and not the problem. Help us strengthen the voice for people in pain.
