Thank you for supporting
National Pain Week 2021
Chronic Pain Australia appreciates the support provided to execute National Pain Week 2021. People living with chronic pain often feel isolated by their pain. The aim of National Pain Week 2021 was to remind family, friends, and professionals that connection is key to addressing the social isolation that pain can create.
National Pain Week 2021 encouraged people to connect with their bodies and to acknowledge their pain. Equally, it encouraged people to seek support and advice from others.
Chronic Pain Australia would like to thank National Pain Week 2021 sponsors – Pfizer, Seqirus and Medlab.
Our team are now looking ahead to 2022 and encourage contact from those interested in supporting the cause.
Chronic Pain Australia is the national voice for the 3.6 million Australians living with chronic pain. We are a non-profit, non-government, registered organisation founded in 2001. The organisation is driven by a group of committed volunteers advocating to reduce the social and economic barriers to those who live with chronic pain.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life of those Australian’s who live with chronic pain.
We believe no Australian should live with the chronic pain in isolation or without access to resources, support, and affordable high-quality healthcare.
Chronic Pain Australia is dedicated to supporting Australians to effectively manage their pain in a manner which promotes dignity and self-respect, regardless of age, gender, culture, belief, rural or regional location or socio-economic background.
