​
​Pain. Do you get it?​
For 1 in 5 Australians, pain is a daily reality, and in rural areas, access to up-to-date pain care is often out of reach.
​
That’s why every year, the Rural Outreach Tour hits the road: to bring life-changing knowledge, connection, and support to regional communities.
​
In August 2025, our peloton of health professionals, researchers, and community champions cycled 720km over 8 days, travelling from Bundaberg to Caloundra. Along the way, we hosted free public events, delivered evidence-based pain education, and connected with over 320 community members face-to-face.
​
Together, we raised $88,052 to continue supporting people affected by chronic pain through community outreach and professional training programs.
What is the Rural Outreach Tour?
The Tour is more than a ride. It’s a nationally recognised public health initiative powered by science, community, and compassion.
​
Each year, our team rides through rural Australia to:
-
Share the latest science about how pain works
-
Equip health professionals with practical, modern pain care tools
-
Empower communities with real strategies for preventing and managing chronic pain
-
Challenge outdated beliefs that keep people stuck in cycles of fear, stigma, and suffering
​
We’re on a mission to make sure everyone, regardless of where they live, has access to the knowledge and care they need to move forward.
​
Looking Ahead
The wheels don’t stop here. We’re already planning the 2026 Rural Outreach Tour in the far north coast of NSW. Whether you want to ride, host, or support, we’d love for you to be part of it.​
