It is believed that 4.9 million people in Australia suffer from migraines, with 71% of those people being women. About 7.6% of migraine suffers have chronic migraine, which means they get headaches or other migraine symptoms 15 days or more a month. Migraines have a big effect on the economy. Each year, they cost the Australian economy about $35.7 billion, mostly in lost work time and medical bills.

Untreated migraines can severely reduce quality of life, increase the risk of mental health issues, and lead to chronic pain conditions. Thankfully, modern treatments like Botox and lifestyle adjustments are offering long-term relief for many.
