R U OK Day 2025
R U OK Day (11 September) is our National Day of Action, we encourage you to Ask R U OK - Any Day of the year.
A lot can happen in a year, a month, a week. Whether it's your friend, family member, colleague, partner, or teammate, the people you care about go through life's ups and downs every day. By having regular, meaningful conversations, you build trust and normalise talking about what's really going on, so when the people in your world find themselves struggling, they know you're someone they can talk to.
