Welcome to Chronic Pain Australia
As Australia’s peak health body for pain, Chronic Pain Australia leads national efforts to improve outcomes for the 3.6 million Australians living with chronic pain. Established in 2001, we are an independent, non-profit, non-government organisation connecting communities, clinicians, and policymakers to create lasting system change. Our work ensures every person with pain has access to compassionate, evidence-based, and equitable care.

National Pain Week
National Pain Week is Australia’s annual awareness event for chronic pain. National Pain Week takes place in the last week of July each year. National Pain Week 2026 will run from 26-31 July 2026.
In 2025, we reached over 7 million Australians through our collective advocacy and awareness activities.
Chronic Pain Australia is actively seeking sponsors and collaborators for National Pain Week 2026. Contact us to learn more.
