What Is It?

The Power of a Simple Greeting

At its heart, Say G'Day Day is about one incredibly simple act: saying "G'day" to someone. Started right here by Inclusee, it is a grassroots movement designed to tackle the growing issue of loneliness and isolation in Australia. Did you know that social connection is just as important for our health as staying active?

The World Health Organization has recognised that feeling connected to others is essential for our physical and mental wellbeing. Our goal is simple: greet ten people. Whether it’s a chat with a neighbour, a phone call to a grandchild, or a smile for the person at the bus stop, every connection matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

Do I have to leave my house to participate?

Not at all! You can easily participate from the comfort of your home. A phone call, a text message, an email, or joining one of Inclusee’s virtual programs are all wonderful ways to say G'Day.

Is it free to get involved?

Yes! Saying G'Day costs absolutely nothing, but the value it brings to someone's day is priceless. All of our resources and toolkits are free to download.

What if I’m not very good at small talk?

You don't need to be a great conversationalist to make an impact. A simple wave, a smile, or just saying "How are you going?" is often all it takes to make someone feel seen and valued.
