Kids in Pain Survey
“My daughter missed so much school that her friends stopped inviting her to things. Nobody talks about the loneliness.”
1 in 5 Australian children lives with chronic pain.
It steals their school days, their sleep, and their childhoods – and too often, their families feel invisible. Whether you’re a parent, carer, or health professional, your voice can change that.

KIDS AFFECTED
Your survey responses go to parliament, to affect real change.
In 2025, this data was presented directly to federal parliamentarians during National Pain Week. It shaped conversations about funding, workforce, and access to care across Australia.
Here’s what your answers help us do:
- Publish the annual National Pain Report — Australia's most cited consumer pain data
- Brief MPs and senators with real evidence of what's broken and what's needed
- Advocate for chronic pain to become a National Health Priority Area
- Inform clinical guidelines, service design, and funding submissions
Ten minutes of your time.
Years of impact.
Whether you’re a young person living with pain, a parent or carer, or someone supporting children and young people in pain, your perspective matters.
