Please join us in our Wear Red for Pain Campaign and help increase awareness, support and reduce stigma for the 4.2 million Australians living with chronic pain.
"By wearing red, we're inviting pharmacists, consumers and the wider community to recognise the complexity of pain, and to talk about pain in a way that's compassionate, informed and genuinely supportive."
— Amanda, living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
