Tell Us Your Story:

Neighbours Every Day has progressed from a reminder to connect with elderly neighbours to an ongoing celebration of respectful relationships and strong communities.
Australians have faced, and continue to face, challenging times – bushfires, drought, floods, the COVID-19 pandemic, and for many, loneliness and isolation. The strength we draw from each other, from our relationships and our wider communities, has never been more important in helping us feel like we belong.
We invite people to tell us their stories of creating belonging in recent times, or perhaps over the years. These social connections may be one-off moments or regular and lasting interactions that create one to one relationships or become the starting point for an ongoing group.

We invite you to tell us your story today!

The stories must reflect the spirit and purpose of Neighbours Every Day.

Entries will open Thursday 26 January 2023 and close at 11.59pm Sunday 26 February 2023.
