Communication and Awareness Reference Group (CARG)
Dr Chris Hayes
Painaustralia Board Director
We are extremely pleased to announce the formation of the Communication and Awareness Reference Group (CARG). The CARG will assist Painaustralia in the development of our new website. The CARG which is chaired by Painaustralia Director, Dr Chris Hayes will be made up of a small group of experts across the chronic pain community. The CARG will meet regularly to provide expert input into the review and curation of our website contents.
The CARG will be instrumental in ensuring that our website is a gateway for best practice, evidence-based pain education and information in Australia. The website will be the first point of call for consumers, carers and health practitioners looking for information on pain and pain management. The website will feature crucial information on pain conditions, best practice care, lived experiences from consumers and informed practice and guidelines from experts.
This project is been funded by the Australian Government to support consumer awareness and education for people affected by pain. This funding is linked to goals 2.2 and 2.3 as outlined in the National Strategic Action Plan for Pain Management.
