Here I am at Parliament House in Canberra today! Three years ago on Melbourne Cup Day, I had my first Zoom with PainAustralia and shared my MINDmyPAIN Health Management Journal - created to help patients, carers, and families keep track of illnesses, surgeries, medications, appointments, care teams, and sensitive medical info in one place.
Today I’ve been invited by Painaustralia, as a member of their Consumer Advisory Board, alongside Palliative Care Australia to the Parliamentary Friends event to discuss the role of pain management in palliative care. We’re calling for stronger policy and investment to better support people living with pain as part of life‑limiting illness.
Feeling grateful, focused, and hopeful for change.
