Chronic Pain Study with UNSW

Do you experience chronic pain that impacts your work?  

Researchers at the University of New South Wales are conducting a project about the role that chronic pain plays in finding and keeping employment, and what supports or accommodations can help NDIS participants to find or keep paid work. 

For this project, they would like to interview people who want to discuss their experience and needs. This would be online and take about 45 minutes to complete. They are looking for people who are: 

  • current NDIS participants, 
  • over 18 years old, 
  • lives with chronic pain, and 
  • have been looking for a job/been in paid employment at any point in the last 12 months. 

This is a paid opportunity to give voice to NDIS participants and inform future advocacy and policy work across Australia.
