At Painaustralia, we know how complex and life-shaping chronic pain can be, and how hard it is to find clear, reliable information. Our website brings together practical resources for people living with pain and those who support them. You’ll find easy-to-use factsheets, evidence-based information, and our National Pain Services Directory, which helps you locate pain specialists and services across Australia.

We also share real conversations through our podcasts. In a recent episode of The Pain Diaries Podcast, Painaustralia CEO Monika Boogs joins Dr Nick Christelis, Director of Pain Specialists Australia, to explore why people with chronic pain are so often unheard, the barriers to effective treatment, and how empathy and better communication can change outcomes. You can listen to the podcast here.

Another one of our podcasts spotlights lived experience, advocacy and innovation in pain care. You can listen to this podcast here.

As the year wraps up, we’d like to wish you a safe Christmas period. Whether this time is busy or quiet, we hope you can take it at your own pace and do what works best for you. Thank you for being part of the Painaustralia community, and we look forward to continuing this work together in the year ahead.
