Headaches, abdominal pain and musculoskeletal pain are the most common forms of adolescent pain.. Adolescents with untreated or poorly treated chronic pain often can become socially withdrawn and isolated and are at risk of mental health issues such as anxiety anddepression.

AUSTRALIA IS THE FIRST COUNTRY TO HAVE A NATIONAL STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT_18 May 2021_
In a world-first, Australia now has a National Strategic Action Planfor Pain Management
(The Action Plan) which will provide real impetus and practical support for the 3.4 million Australians living with chronic pain said Painaustralia CEO Carol Bennett welcoming today’s launch by HealthMinister Greg Hunt.
> “The National Strategic Action Plan>
> is a critical step towards improving the quality of life for the > millions of Australians who live with chronic pain and every day > face the challenges of accessing affordable and specialised pain > treatment,” said Ms Bennett.>
> “We thank Minister Hunt for his support of the Action Plan and > launching it at today’s Painaustralia’s Parliamentary Friends of > Pain Management Group event.>
> “The Action Plan, which is now endorsed by all Australian > governments, provides a pathway to improved pain awareness, support > and treatment for people living with chronic pain.>
> “Hopefully, with the Action Plan now in place and supported by all > governments, it will provide the priority that those who live in > chronic pain need.” The Cost of Chronic Pain in Australia report found that in 2020 chronic pain cost $144.1 million and if nothing is done it will rise to $215.6 billion by 2050. The Action Plan was developed by Painaustralia with funding from the Australian Government and is the culmination of the commitment and dedication of key stakeholders and consumers. After extensive consultation, the Action Plan was released in 2019 for endorsement by the Australian Government and details eight key priority areas that can be undertaken to help address chronic pain inAustralia today.
> “Today’s announcement by Minister Hunt is the culmination of > many small steps – all of them hard won and which have now > resulted in the adoption of this plan by all Australian > governments,” Ms Bennett said. Ms Bennett said the next step was to ensure governments provided funding to realise the actions and agenda outlined in the plan including recognising pain as a national health and public healthpriority.
Ms Bennett thanked all members and particularly the founding members, the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, the ANZCA Faculty of Pain Medicine, the Australian Pain Society and the Pain Foundation (formally known as the Pain Management Research Institute) for their commitment to the Action Plan. The National Strategic Action Plan can be found here ------------------------- A NEW COMPASS GUIDING PEOPLE ON THEIR PAIN JOURNEY_18 May 2021_
People who live with chronic pain will now find it easier to find alternative holistic treatments with the launch today of the new look and improved National Pain Services Directory. The updated directory was made possible by funding from the Australian Government and was launched by Senator Wendy Askew at the Parliamentary Friends of Pain Management Group event at the Capital Pain and Rehabilitation Clinic in Deakin which is celebrating 20 years of service to the Canberra community. > “The directory provides a comprehensive list of more than 200 pain > clinics who treat all types of pain conditions and can help > consumers and GPs to find help from every region across > Australia,” Senator Askew said. Painaustralia CEO Carol Bennett said the National Pain Services Directory was a practical resource tool not only used by consumers but also by GPs and other health professionals who are looking for evidence based, holistic treatments. > “The updated directory has sophisticated search functionality > which enables people to find a clinic in their own state and > territory, related to specific pain conditions, a public or private > facility, and geographical location with a ‘use my location’ > button that is highly accurate and can pinpoint services directly to > where someone lives or works,” she said. Megan Kuleas, 31, from Canberra, lives with chronic pain after being diagnosed with Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and a heart condition due to her pain. > “Currently, 3.4 million people in Australia experience chronic > pain, and I am one of these people. My conditions are not visible so > although I look healthy each day, I often experience chronic and > acute pain and other unfortunate side effects,” she said. Her pain differs each day and there are days where she can’t physically move and is bedridden. > “It is so challenging, some days it can feel like the inside of my > body has been ripped apart,” she said. Ms Kuleas said the directory was ground-breaking for people who live in pain, like herself. > “The directory will not only assist people who live with pain, > both new and old, but also their carers, loved ones and other > medical professionals,” she said.>
> “The ability to search using location is extremely beneficial > particularly for those whose access to medical treatment is > restricted by distance and location. As a person who lives with pain > myself, I am grateful to Painaustralia and the Department of Health > for the directory which provides a practical resource for those like > me navigating their pain journey.” The directory is available here.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WONDERFUL WORK YOU ARE DOING TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR CRPS (COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME) AND CHRONIC PAIN, AND FUNDS FOR PAINAUSTRALIA. YOU WERE INJURED 16 YEARS AGO, LEADING TO CRPS. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT YOUR JOURNEY HAS BEENLIKE?
Thank you Tara, for taking the time and asking me questions regarding my condition and journey. Growing up with CRPS over the last 16 years has been really challenging, frustrating, exhausting and of course, painful. I broke my left arm when I was 12 and had my 13th birthday in hospital. After the initial break of my arm, I felt like something wasn’t right with the way my skin and overall arm felt, from the top of my shoulder all the way down to my hand. I experienced a shooting, burning and aching pain as my arm was resting which intensified when I moved it. I also noticed that I had less freedom to move my left hand and shoulder like I normally did before I broke it.READ MORE
