the project

Almost every day, we all see things, do things, hear things or say things that feel Australian.

Being Australian is a new community connecting people to other people's experiences, enabling them to share experiences in ways that inform, entertain, nurture people's sense of belonging and help promote Australia to the world.

more about the idea...

Being Australian began in a New York apartment as a quest for a feeling...

more about how it started...

Being Australian aims to draw people closer together through humour and contemplation about life in Australia using a variety of techniques involving their stories.

more about objectives...

Research shows that Australia is statistically becoming a nation of loners. Social fragmentation is stimulating a desire among people for a sense of connectedness and belonging as citizens.

We want to play a part in recreating this connectedness.

more about why Being Australian is here...

The experience of community and the quality of the decisions people make affecting each other tends to improve when affinity and relatedness exist between people where there may have been none before. Being Australian is about generating this connection through the exchange of personal anecdotes about 'Australian' moments in people's lives.
