Belonging Every Day
Neighbours Every Day is Relationships Australia’s campaign helping people across Australia feel connected, included and valued.
Our theme: Belonging Every Day
A call to everyone — individuals, community groups, businesses and governments — to take everyday actions that create connection and respect.
Belonging doesn’t come easily, and it isn’t exclusive — it only works when it’s shared by everyone.
We’re here to help you create, share and grow belonging, every day — with a range of free resources. Belonging Every Day – It starts with you. It starts with us. Read on to find out how.
Neighbours Every Day is explained in this short video.
Useful resources to create, share and grow belonging every day — it starts with you, it starts with us.

Join in, connect, volunteer
We know from a range of studies that helping others has both community and personal benefits — it starts with you, and it starts with us.
Social connection makes us feel better as it helps prevent loneliness and isolation.
Good relationships with others increases general wellbeing and has a wider, positive impact on communities.
The groups listed below provide a variety of opportunities to join in, connect with others and if you’re up for it, to help out by volunteering. Your local council or govolunteer.com.au may also have ideas for you to get involved.
