25.01.2022 Hear more about the newly announced National Pain Action Plan here and see more at Painaustralia's website.

24.01.2022 Pain Support ACT encourages everyone to see this very funny and enjoyable event. The singers supported Pain Support last year. Now the Shiny Bum Singers are singing "Seize the Day" again for everyone who missed it in December '17. I'm going again - so much fun and singalong, and another great cause.

23.01.2022 This is one to watch. It could be a very good development for Canberra people waiting for pain treatment.

22.01.2022 Getting together to learn or refresh your understanding of how to best manage pain and to share friendship with others who grasp what you are going through is a very affirming and valuable thing to do.

21.01.2022 Great to see this news. Australia's Primary Health Networks are meeting to discuss opportunities to prevent and manage chronic pain. Let's hope we see some good work being done in Canberra.

19.01.2022 Pain Support ACT member Robyn Martignago shares her story of the impacts of chronic pain with Professor Lucy Chipchase of ANU who gave a very interesting talk on 25th June at University of Canberra. She is working on an interdisciplinary approach across biological, social and psychological aspects of pain. You can see Robyn's full story and others at www.painsupportact.org.au

19.01.2022 I recommend a listen to this short interview by ABC Radio National's Fran Kelly. International medical cannabis summit in Sydney. She talks with a Canadian medical marijuana scientist about the prescribing of medical cannabis there, a different model from here. Sounds very interesting. Also she talks with an Australian patient with back pain who has gained access and relief.

17.01.2022 It's useful when "celebrities" open up about non-visible chronic conditions like pain. It does spread the message that the pain is real.

17.01.2022 Sarah, Painaustralia CEO Carol Bennett and Margaret McCulloch from Pain Support speaking up during National Pain Week. This showed on peak news time on Win.

17.01.2022 This is confirming other work about connections between physical and emotional pain. Fascinating.

16.01.2022 SHOUT is doing well and continuing its jwork of supporting community organisations across Canberra, particularly health promotion groups like Pain Support ACT.

16.01.2022 When people have chronic pain, it's just the beginning. Mental health issues are common - waiting in pain to get proper medical treatment is particularly debilitating.

16.01.2022 Health is the main factor influencing both high and low quality of life for older people. Interesting facts in here.

12.01.2022 Really interesting talk on radio about how chonic pain including arthritis ranks right at the bottom of the disease hierachy.

08.01.2022 Hi! If you or anyone you know can find this useful, let them know about it. Thank you and thanks to Arthritis ACT. Pain Support is doing really well now as part of this bigger group looking after people with pain in Canberra!

08.01.2022 It is important to get to know others who have pain so that you feel supported and support each other. People who haven't experienced it may not understand what a hard gig it is.

07.01.2022 This is a really significant development for people living with pain. Do read more. It should phase out a lot of disbelief. Congratulations to Australian researchers.

07.01.2022 A fundamental shift in the way researchers now understand two different sorts of pain. Let's hope this leads more rapidly to finding medications for the long lasting pain to fill the gap now that opioids are, not always sensibly "on the nose".

06.01.2022 If you have chronic pain or an interest in seeing better support for people with it, please take a few minutes to have your say on the National Action Plan for Chronic Pain Management.
