You’ve moved! After successfully moving to a new place and tackling the Mt Everest of To Do list of setting up residence in a new town, you’re now ready to start enjoying your life and finding your space and your kind of people.
Just Say YES


Connect with Friends of Friends
Create Your Own Event
Invite neighbours to a casual get-together in your home. It doesn’t need to be elaborate; a simple housewarming or coffee morning is a perfect way to introduce yourself to those around you. An informal gathering creates a relaxed environment to chat, share stories, and find common interests. Who knows, your new best friend might just live next door!
Join Area Social Media Groups
Social media is a fantastic tool for connecting with like-minded people in your area. Join local groups centered around hobbies or activities you love, whether it’s a gardening club, a book group, or a walking club. This not only connects you with people who share similar interests but also keeps you updated on events and activities happening nearby.
Give Back by Volunteering
Volunteering is a rewarding way to become part of your new community while making new friends. By supporting a cause you care about, you’ll connect with others who share your values. Plus, giving back is one of the most fulfilling ways to feel connected and build a sense of purpose in your new environment.
Find a Lifestyle Community
One of the easiest ways to find connections in a new place is by considering a lifestyle community. These communities are increasingly popular among Australians over 55, providing a sense of independence while offering resort-style facilities and regular social events in a secure environment. Imagine having a built-in social network with people who enjoy the same activities and interests! A lifestyle community offers a unique blend of privacy and connection, with activities designed to help you quickly find your people.
