What we’re about
morethanthis.au was created from a deeply personal place — a response to the kind of loneliness and uncertainty that’s hard to explain and even harder to escape. For many young adults, not only is social connection difficult, but figuring out what to do with life or who they truly are can feel overwhelming. In today’s world, many people silently struggle with loneliness, anxiety, or the weight of feeling disconnected — especially outside of school, work, or online platforms. morethanthis.au exists to fill that gap by bringing people together in real life, where authentic friendships and support can form. Struggling with major depression and anxiety, it became clear how challenging it is to build real friendships and a sense of self outside of work or structured activities. The silence of isolation was overwhelming, and there was no place to just be — without judgment or pressure — and meet others who felt the same way.
That experience sparked a question: what if there was a space where people could come together not just for fun, but for connection, healing, and growth? What if events and programs weren’t only about enjoyment but were designed to help people develop a stronger sense of self-identity through continuous personal development — with seminars, workshops, and supportive communities?
morethanthis.au was born from that vision. It’s a community-first movement focused on real human connection and personal growth. Through weekly events like run clubs, dinners, book clubs, and larger social gatherings — as well as seminars and workshops — we’re creating spaces where people aged 18–30 can form friendships, explore who they are, learn from each other, and enjoy life — no matter where they’re starting from.
This isn’t just about events. It’s about showing up for each other, creating new experiences, and proving that we’re all more than our loneliness, our past, or our fear. We’re here to grow — together, we are more than this
