HOW WE HELP
A community that opens doors.
From finding your feet in Australia to exploring a new opportunity, We Belong brings people together to share experience, make introductions and help one another move forward.
Four ways we help
Member introductions
Moving to Brisbane and want to meet another American nurse? Ask, and we'll introduce you to someone who's done it.
Private LinkedIn community
Share a job lead, ask for feedback on a business idea, or celebrate a promotion with people who get it.
Private WhatsApp group
Which GP is taking new patients? Where can I find Milk Duds? Ask and get a fast, friendly answer.
In-person events
Coffees, dinners and meetups coming soon in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
The 48-hour promise
Good intentions are lovely. Following through is what makes the difference.
Offering an introduction is a generous thing to do. Following through is what makes it count.
So we ask every member to keep their word: when you offer to introduce someone to a person in your network, make that introduction within 48 hours. A short message connecting the two of them is all it takes.
We hold ourselves to the same standard. When Skye or Scott offers an introduction, we'll make it within 48 hours too.
Life gets busy. If something changes, just let the person know so no one is left waiting.
You offer an intro
You message both people

With your permission, we make the introduction.
We always ask before sharing your details with anyone.
What are you working toward?
Sometimes you need a local recommendation. Sometimes you need an introduction, a fresh perspective or someone who's navigated the same challenge. And sometimes you have an idea that needs the right people around the table.
Whatever stage you're at, you can ask the community for guidance, experience or a helping hand.
Moving within Australia
Thinking of relocating to a new city or suburb? Get honest advice on schools, neighborhoods and settling in from members who've made the same move.
Exploring a career change
Learn from others with relevant experience.
Growing a business
Find insight, encouragement and potential collaborators.
Seeking a collaboration
Meet people whose skills or ambitions complement yours.
Finding your people
Make friends who understand the experience of building a life in Australia.
Making an impact
Bring people together around a cause or idea you care about.
Putting our values into action
Belonging is something we build together.
We Belong works best when everyone contributes to the kind of community they'd like to be part of.
Connect genuinely.
Make introductions, start conversations and create space for friendships and professional relationships to grow. Help newcomers feel welcome and make room for people to find their place.
Give generously.
Share your experience, knowledge and connections. Celebrate others' wins, pay it forward and look for opportunities to contribute your time and skills, support meaningful causes and make a positive impact in our local communities.
Follow through.
Keep your commitments, communicate when plans change and respect other people's time. Show up with kindness, take responsibility for your actions and help build a community grounded in trust.
Everyone has something to contribute, and every contribution counts. Whether it's making an introduction, sharing advice, lending a hand or supporting a cause, small acts of generosity can make a meaningful difference.
