A generous community
Social Belonging
Find genuine friendships with people who understand the adventure, challenges and everyday realities of making Australia home.
Professional Allies
Share experience, exchange ideas and meet people who can help you navigate Australian working life and grow your professional community.
Mutual Support
Ask questions, share what you've learned and offer a helping hand to someone navigating a challenge you've already faced.
Four years ago, we moved from the US to Australia sight unseen. It was an extraordinary adventure, but building a new life far from family and lifelong friends came with challenges we hadn't anticipated.
We realized how much easier the journey could be with a community of people who understood it — people willing to share what they'd learned, open doors and show up for one another.
That's why we created We Belong. A community for Americans making Australia home, built on genuine friendship, generosity and the belief that we thrive when we help one another.
Good people. Genuine connections. A community that gives as much as it receives.
Find Your People.
Build genuine friendships with people who share your experiences, interests and ambitions.
Ask Freely.
Have a question? Ask it. Share a challenge, seek advice or learn from someone who's been there.
Show Up for One Another.
Offer your time, experience or encouragement. Small acts of support can make a big difference.
Give Generously.
Share what you know, celebrate each other's wins and help make the journey easier for someone else.
Ways to belong
More than a network. A community that shows up.
Whether you're making friends, sharing professional knowledge, offering guidance or helping someone find their feet, there are many ways to be part of We Belong.
Through our private LinkedIn community, WhatsApp group and special events across Australia.
What we believe
A community built on showing up.
We believe life across cultures is richer when we find our people. We build genuine connections, give generously and follow through on our commitments. Together, we create a community where people feel they belong, support one another and give back to the country we now call home.
Because belonging isn't just about finding your people. It's about being one of them.
We follow through.
We honor our commitments and do what we say we'll do.
We pay it forward.
We share our knowledge and help others where we can.
We communicate.
We aim to be thoughtful, clear and considerate.
We respect one another.
We welcome different experiences, perspectives and points of view.
Everyone is welcome
Wherever you are in your Australian journey, you belong here.
Whether you've recently arrived or have called Australia home for years, We Belong brings together Americans who are current Australian residents to build genuine connections, share experiences and support one another along the way.
You don't need to have all the answers or know everyone. Just come as you are, connect with your community, and share what you can. There's a place for you here.
A world away. Your people are closer than you think. Build genuine friendships, find your community and make Australia feel more like home.
Join We Belong. It's free to be part of it.
