About

Neighbours Every Day (also known as Neighbour Day) is Relationships Australia’s year-round community connection campaign, encouraging Australians to take everyday steps that create social connection and foster respectful relationships.

Each year, Neighbours Every Day culminates in a national day of action on the last Sunday in March.

If you’ve just moved here, you’re not alone.

Many neighbours in postcodes 3004, 3141, and 3181 live in high-rise buildings where it can be hard to meet the people living right next door. Neighbour Day 2026 is a day of action themed around belonging and we invite you to participate in our community gathering designed to help us connect with each other and the nature on our doorstep.

This is not a festival; it is a simple way to meet your neighbours and care for our shared green space. Join us for a day of participation, fun and wellbeing and make some friends at the same time.
