About Chronic Pain Australia
Chronic Pain Australia is the national peak consumer body representing the 5.4 million Australians living with chronic pain. We work to ensure lived experience is heard, understood and reflected in health policy, research, education and healthcare.
Through advocacy, awareness, peer support services, consumer-led programs and trusted, evidence-based information, we aim to reduce stigma and improve understanding. We support people living with chronic pain to make informed decisions and have greater agency in their own care.
Pain Lives in Possibility
At Chronic Pain Australia we collaborate with consumers, carers, health professionals, researchers, government, industry and community organisations to drive meaningful and lasting change. Our work is grounded in the belief that every person living with chronic pain deserves to be believed, supported and able to access safe, effective and person-centred care.
