Connected AU is a purpose led business fighting the loneliness epidemic in Australia ~ a crippling epidemic that poses an equal risk factor for death as smoking and obesity and costs Australia a staggering 2.7 billion dollars annually. Founder Mea Campbell firmly believed that a thriving private business can create more impact in the world than a diluted and confused charity ~ so rather than following the nonprofit or charity models, she established Connected AU as a for-purpose company. The vision: tackle loneliness in Australia while building a sustainable, long-term business. The result? Connected AU now provides education and community programs to individuals, schools, and corporates across the country Over the past three years, Connected AU has supported over 45,000 individuals through our connection programs, earning the endorsement of influential figures such as Chris Hemsworth, Sam Neill, and other celebrities. Our impressive corporate client list includes notable companies such as Canva, Disney, Zurich, Deloitte, Salesforce, and Extend. Our corporate and school program brings the Connected AU team directly into the boardrooms of these elite businesses and schools, offering education, team-building, and community service activities focused on combating loneliness and fostering connection. With a modest fee, businesses and schools can now make an immediate community impact while promoting individual well-being, all in just one afternoon. The results are positive, with Canva quoting "We knew it would be good, we didn’t know it would be great!" Now closing out our third year, Connected AU is ready to focus on growth. With a solid foundation, a track record of success, and a roster of prestigious clients, we are poised to expand our reach and make an even greater impact in combating loneliness in Australia.
