Become a painchanger today
Chronic Pain affects over 3.6 million Australians.
Why aren’t more people talking about it?
Speaking up can be a challenge when managing chronic pain. Many are taught to hide their pain to in fear of appearing weak.
The “she’ll be right” attitude is often adopted by men when addressing their chronic pain, leading to worsened, long-term impacts for both themselves, their family, friends, and colleagues.
It takes strength to share your pain.

What’s in it for me?
Your voice can impact how chronic pain in Australia is managed.
Once the survey period is closed, Chronic Pain Australia compiles results into a digestible report, and submits this to relevant government officials and media.
Not only will governments and other bodies have access to recent data, but you will also have access to recommendations, and other resources on our website.
Resources like these can be a ‘game changer’ for your pain management.
Show them how strong you are.

Mr Pain Podcast
Mr Pain is hosted by Brent Hedley and powered by Chronic Pain Australia, Australia's national voice for people living with chronic pain.
Introducing Mr Pain, a podcast devoted to supporting Australian men who live with chronic pain. Season 1 of Mr Pain explores the concept of Dads in Pain – how pain often intersects with family life and what men who manage chronic pain can do to help us be the best fathers, partners, brothers, or sons that we can be.
