- Rethink Pain, Re-engage, RECOVER
It's time for a Revolution in the way we talk about, and treat, persisting pain.
"We need to engage with this massive problem in a new way, give people the resources to recover and find the best methods to prevent persisting pain"
- Professor Lorimer Moseley, University of South Australia
Our vision is that all Australians will have access to the knowledge, skills and local support to prevent and overcome persistent pain.To do that, we have to get the science of pain out of the research lab, and into the community.
The aim of the Local Pain Educator (LPE) Program is to embed the capacity to deliver best practice pain education and care within rural and regional communities while safeguarding the well-being and resilience of the GP and allied health workforce delivering it
On our annual Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Ride, we take a passionate and dedicated team out on the road to reach rural communities. We cycle into towns to run community and health professional education events, and establish support and knowledge-growth networks that span the country. The cyclists challenge their physical abilities on the week-long tour and each of them raises much-needed funds to support the Local Pain Educator Program.
We're taking over Tasmania on our 2019 Rural Outreach Ride.
We're busy selecting the team of inspiring riders that will take on the Tassie challenge!
- The Brain BusBringing the science behind the stories to your town
The Brain Bus is an opportunity for people to learn about pain, and the science behind it, in community locations along the Pain Revolution ride route.
In 2018, Dr Tasha Stanton and Dr Dan Harvie brought the Brain Bus to Wollongong, Nowra, Canberra, Cooma and Albury-Wodonga.
The Brain Bus gives people the opportunity to understand pain by experiencing some of the cool science that explains how and why we hurt, and some new ways we can think about the path to recovery.

The Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour and the Local Pain Educator Program would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors who share Pain Revolution's vision for the potential impact of community pain education.
