Here’s what’s happening
We’re here to change that—together.
We are asking young Australians (18-25) to share their experiences about loneliness through life’s big changes as part of work to develop supports that centre young people’s voices and experience.
Your story—big or small—can help create more connected, supportive spaces that actually work for young people.

Our LEAG centres the voices and experiences of young people. They are involved in every step of the ‘A-Part of the Crowd’ project. Made up of individuals with firsthand knowledge of loneliness and life transitions, the LEAG provides guidance, feedback, and ideas to create relatable, impactful solutions that truly reflect the needs of young Australians.
Candice Peart, Matthew Lewis, Jennifer Bibb, Phillip Orcher, Amy Coe, Cath Kaylor-Hughes and Victoria Palmer form the A-Part of the Crowd research team. You can reach us at: a-partofthecrowd@unimelb.edu.au
