EQUipping the general Public to prevent and overcome chronic Pain
Thank you to those who attended our June/July 2025 workshops in Mount Gambier, Naracoorte, Millicent, Hamilton, Ararat, Stawell and Horsham; around 310 participants attended from both regions.
These sessions built on what we heard during earlier conversations and focused on the best way to share key pain messages in your community.
The EQUiPP project team are currently collating and analysing the data gathered during the sessions and beginning the process of putting together campaign prototypes for each town and region.
Our pain education campaign is expected to commence at the beginning of 2026. If you would like to receive updates about the project, sign up for our e-newsletter via the Contact Us page.
The Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour has had a fabulous wrap-up in Horsham! The tour was buoyed by Phil Anderson, legendary cyclist extraordinaire, crossing the finish line alongside the Pain Revolution riders.
Yesterday, UniSA’s Mount Gambier campus hosted a community outreach event, education session, and community dinner, marking the start of the Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour. It also marked the start of the EQUIPP project’s Phase Zero community engagement with Dr Lousie Wiles, Prof Ian Gwilt and Dr Aaron Davis kickstarting conversations with community members from Mt Gambier and surrounding areas.
The UniSA project, EQUIPP (EQUIpping the general Public to prevent and overcome chronic Pain), is one of four MRFF projects from this round that will address chronic pain, out of a total of nine projects awarded - with UniSA the only South Australian university recipient.
