About this event


The Pain Revolution team is coming to your community to share the latest science, practical support strategies, and real stories of recovery and hope.

The 2026 Rural Outreach Tour, in its 8th year, is a not-for-profit initiative that brings together health professionals, scientists, and individuals who have lived with chronic persistent pain, to connect with communities from Tweed Heads down to Port Macquarie, NSW.

Join us for an inspiring, informative session open to anyone living with pain, supporting someone with pain, or simply curious about new approaches to pain care.

What to Expect:

  • Learn about the pain science from our experts.
  • Hear inspiring recovery stories from people with lived experience.
  • Listen to a multidisciplinary panel discussion featuring health professionals.
  • Explore our interactive Learn, Do & Connect Marketplace, where you can:
    o Learn about the Essential Pain Facts.
    o Do hands-on activities using interactive models designed to support recovery.
    o Connect with our education team, outreach riders, and local pain educators.

We’re passionate about changing the way Australia understands and responds to pain – and we believe that change starts with conversation, connection, and community.

Thanks to Adelaide University and Proactive Health, sponsors of our Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour.
