What type of connector are you?

During Loneliness Awareness Week, more than 800 people completed the connector quiz, and the results are a reminder that our communities are full of different types of connectors. Some bring people together, others connect through listening, kindness, invitations, or simply noticing when someone might need company. Each style plays a role in helping people feel seen, supported and less alone, and together they create the conditions where connection can grow.

You can learn your connector style by completing the quiz: lonelinessawarenessweek.com.au/connector-quiz

"When I know she's coming, I think 'wow this is going to make such a difference to my day'"

Grace joined a volunteer program offering companionship for the elderly, but what she got out of it was so much more. Paired with Pam, it was a mutual love of Prince that made the 24 and 73 year old connect. Some 2 years later, that shared interest has blossomed into a special friendship.

"Gill plays a really special role for us all in being the social glue."

Being neurodivergent in a workplace felt lonely for Gill. Knowing she couldn’t be the only one, she created a neurodivergent community group within Medibank to help colleagues connect and feel supported. From sharing pictures online to in‑person catch‑ups, the group has helped staff feel a sense of belonging - and led to friendships just like Gill and Amie’s.
