Talking about Pain: Language Guidelines for Chronic Pain

The Federal Minister for Health, Greg Hunt has launched Painaustralia’s new language guidelines to mark Pain Awareness Week.

Talking about Pain is a resource developed with the support of the Federal Government and aims to provide a guide to those working in the media and general community on the use of appropriate, inclusive and non-stigmatising language when talking or writing about chronic and persisting pain and people living with these pain conditions.

In this blog article, our CEO Carol Bennett shares why we must change the way we talk about pain.
