Loneliness Awareness Week 2026 is just around the corner!
Loneliness Awareness Week Australia will take place from 3–9 August, and this year’s theme, Make Room for Connection, reminds us that connection doesn’t happen by accident, it grows in the spaces and opportunities we intentionally create for one another.
Whether it’s making time for a conversation, welcoming someone new, or creating opportunities for people to come together, we all have a role to play in building a more connected Australia.
To help you start planning for the week, we encourage you to visit the Loneliness Awareness Week website:
-Download the Loneliness Awareness Week Toolkit for ideas, resources and practical ways to get involved.
-Start thinking about simple activities or events you could host in your workplace, school, community group or neighbourhood make room for connection. The toolkit includes a guide to help you plan your activities.
-Register for the Loneliness Awareness Launch Webinar on July 15th, at 2pm here.
-Share the campaign with colleagues, friends and networks to help spread the message.
-Make room for connection in your everyday interactions and encourage others to do the same.
