Neighbours Every Day 2024/2025

Relationships Australia proudly announces the launch of its Neighbours Every Day 2024/2025 campaign, with next year’s annual day of action set for Sunday, 30 March 2025. The chosen theme, “Create, Share, Grow Belonging,” calls on all Australians to strengthen community ties and foster a sense of belonging in their neighbourhoods and beyond.

Nick Tebbey, National Executive Officer at Relationships Australia, emphasises the campaign’s significance: “Neighbour Day is a powerful reminder of the importance of social connections in our lives. Our research shows that when people engage with their communities, they experience improved mental well-being and reduced loneliness. This is crucial, as recent research reveals that nearly one in three Australians report feeling lonely, with over 15% saying they often or always feel lonely.”

Neighbours Every Day is a critical component of efforts to prevent loneliness; taking a strengths-based approach and giving people the tools, resources, and reasons, to reach out and grow belonging
