In a world that’s never been more connected due to technology and the vast reach of the internet, it’s hard to believe that nearly one in three Australians report feeling lonely … and more than 15% say they often or always feel lonely. Recent research conducted by Relationships Australia reveals that loneliness is a modern-day epidemic that affects people across all age groups, with young people aged 18-24 being the most likely to often or always feel lonely.
It’s why making connections with those around us – our neighbours – has never felt more important. When we engage with people – with something as simple as a smile and a ‘g’day’ – we’re taking crucial steps towards improving mental wellbeing and reducing loneliness in our communities.
Sunday March 30 - Neighbour Day, a national initiative which encourages people to connect with those around them, whether in person or virtually, and to discover how simple acts of social connection can help reduce loneliness and protect our mental health.
We heard from Nick Tebbey, the National Executive Officer of Relationships Australia, the not-for-profit organisation behind Neighbour Day each year. Nick told us why Neighbour Day is particularly beneficial in promoting resilience and protecting our mental health during times of change or crisis. Nick knows that neighbours don’t have to be best friends, but he also knows that strong local communities can help sustain us in both good times and bad

Let's introduce you to another David Campbell.
David Campbell is an Australian singer song writer.
He also plays guitar with Australian music legend Daryl Braithwaite as a member of band and has done for many years
David’s latest release was conceived January 2025 after performing in outback NSW on the remote pastoral property” Mount Gipps Station”, located Nth of Broken Hill, off the Silver City Highway.
Inspired by the vast and remote landscape, relief from the rough and corrugated dirt road from Gipps Station came when they finally met the intersection, and sealed surface of the Silver City Highway. The song was our AMRAP song of the week and I caught up with David to hear all about it -

What were you doing in 1984? Me, I was listening to this great band's first album "Stoneage Romeos" and so were all my friends. And we still are! On this episode we're joined by frontman for the Hoodoo Gurus and we talk back in the day and there's a funny story or two on how a few of the tracks were given life. You must go and have a listen to the album straight after too, if you were there it'll take you right back, if you weren't you'll wish you were.

National Carers Week – a time to recognise and show support for Australia’s incredible unpaid carers.
Both popular Adelaide radio personalities, in 2020, Chris Dzelde quit his full-time job in radio to care for his beloved wife Mel. It followed on from Mel’s cancer diagnosis some years earlier and numerous bouts of chemotherapy and other treatments to try and stop the cancer from spreading. Sadly, following an additional diagnosis of MND in 2021, Mel lost her fight at the end of 2022.
For Chris, there was never any question of doing whatever it took to provide the care and support that Mel needed, and – like so many other carers – putting his own needs to one side. To share his story, Chris joined us on Saturday Breakfast. I have worked with both Chris & Mel and have to be honest I was holding back the tears and thank Chris for his warmth and openness to help others in this episode.

Millions of Australian kids take part in some form of community sport each and every week.
And so they should. It’s proven that sport has a ton of benefits when it comes to kids’ mental, physical and social wellbeing. For kids though, the mainreason they play sport is: “because it’s fun.”
But when the sport environment is no longer physically or emotionally safe, that fun can rapidly disappear.
In recent years, cases of violence against children in sport in Australia have garnered a lot of national media attention. A recent national study by Victoria University looked at the frequency of experiences of violence against children in community sport in Australia. It’s the largest study of its kind to date and found that 82% of respondents had experienced some form of violence while playing community sport as a child in Australia. And just this week a Canberra man was sentenced to 13 years jail for systemic historical abuse against six junior athletes. Unfortunately, it won’t be the last case of this kind we hear about.
On Thursday 1 June, Play By The Rules (in association with Sport Integrity Australia) will launch a new campaign called ‘Start To Talk’ and unveil some new online resources designed to help keep our kids safe in sport.
To find out more, we caught up with Morgan Lander, an independent consultant for Play By The Rules since 2006 who has assisted Sport Australia in child-safe risk management, complaint handling and member protection since 2011. Morgan has spent more than a decade with NSW Sport & Recreation in areas that primarily involved child protection and safeguarding children in sport, Morgan set up his own safeguarding consultancy company, Not On My Watch. Morgan is an independent Member Protection Information Officer for various national sports, State Sporting Organisations and sits on the board of the Sport Access Foundation.
