R U OK Day

Today, Thursday 11 September, is R U OK? Day 2025, a national day of action that reminds us all to take the time to check in with the people around us. This year’s theme, 'Ask R U OK? Any Day,' highlights the importance of everyday conversations in supporting mental health and wellbeing.

Research shows that when people are asked if they’re okay, most feel cared for, supported, and valued. A simple question can open the door to connection and, in some cases, truly change a life. Whether it’s a friend, family member, colleague or neighbour, taking the time to ask 'R U OK?' can make all the difference.

You can find free resources, conversation tips and support materials at ruok.org.au to help you feel prepared to start a meaningful conversation – on R U OK? Day and any day of the year.
