International Pain Awareness Month September 2026

THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who participated in International Pain Awareness Month.

Thank you especially those who took part in our Wear Red for Pain Campaign on September 1 2026. We were blown away by how many people got involved and shared photos on social media.

Every red shirt, every conversation started, every piece of information shared helped chip away at the stigma still faced by the millions Australians living with pain every day.

Everyone who took part in our Wear Red for Pain Campaign helped to showcase the impact of chronic pain on people's lives this International Pain Awareness Month. Your support means people living with pain feel a little more seen, and a little less alone.
