Connect Up

Creating connection and community for 18-30’s in Belconnen and Bruce. Ever noticed it’s easier to talk when you’re doing something?

Connect Up is a program developed by and for locals to help those aged 18 to 30s who live, work or study in the Belconnen region to meet others and share experiences. Connect Up offers a mix of activities for people aged 18 to 30s: some high-energy, some low-key, all designed to help you meet others naturally. No pressure to commit to every week, just moments to connect with others, create and sha

re experiences, and feel part of a community. That’s because shared focus takes the pressure off! We’ve got plenty of group activities each week to help you ease in. Take a look at our weekly events to find out more and register. Connect Up is a local initiative run by Capital Regional Community Service (CRCS) and developed by the University of Canberra’s Health Research Institute (HRI). The program strengthens social connection among 18–39 year olds who live, work, or study in the Belconnen region.

Your Kind of Connection

Connection isn’t one-size-fits-all—and at Connect Up, we get it.

Maybe you’re the person who lights up during deep, meaningful conversations over coffee. Or you’re someone who finds your tribe through hands-on creative workshops. Perhaps you’re most yourself when you’re laughing during active games or exploring new experiences.

🌟 Here’s what we know: authentic connections happen when you can just be yourself, without the pressure to be someone you’re not.

That’s why every Connect Up event is designed around real interests and genuine interactions—not forced networking or awkward small talk.

👉 Ready to find your people? Check out our upcoming events: ConnectUp.au

✨ Because belonging shouldn’t be complicated.
