💛 Have you checked in on your neighbours lately?

One in four Australians say they’re experiencing loneliness and more than 15% say they often or always feel that way.

I recently caught up with Nick Tebbey, the National Executive Officer of Relationships Australia, ahead of Neighbours Day.

We talked about why loneliness is on the rise, why it is not just older Australians feeling it, and how younger people are very much part of this story too. It is also a reminder that something as simple as a hello, a quick chat, or checking in can genuinely make a difference.

Connection is not just something we focus on for one day. It is something we can create, share and grow every day, and it plays such an important role in our wellbeing and in building stronger communities.
