INTERESTED IN HOSTING THE CONVOY?
R U OK? Conversation Convoy - Expression of Interest Form
The R U OK? Conversation Convoy travels to communities around the country to help Australians understand the important role they can play in looking out for their friends, family and colleagues. Our convoys can deliver:
- A one-hour, indoor interactive workshop including free resources. The workshop is designed to help build the capacity and confidence of local communities to ask, 'are you OK?' and have meaningful conversations to support the people in their world. (Workshops are for up to 30 attendees)
and/or
- A 60 to 90 minute* outdoor activation that incorporates:
- set-up -caravan and display, presentations, games, free resources, hot drinks and a BBQ. (Please note R U OK? will fund and operate the BBQ for public community events but not for private organisations)
- Location: we require a flat open space measuring 16 by 10 metres (parkland or car park spaces can work well)
- Promotion: we provide posters and social media tiles to help the community host/s promote the event.
If you would like to discuss having the R U OK? Conversation Convoy visit your community, we encourage you to complete the form below.
Please be aware that we have only one R U OK? caravan, so whilst wanting to fulfil all the requests we are limited by resources and the vastness of our country. Your request will be kept on file, so when we are planning to visit your state your request will be reviewed and if it’s possible for us to come to your location, we'll be in touch.
*Duration can vary if we are invited to attend a local show, fair or festival.
R U OK?DAY
R U OK?Day is our National Day of Action when we remind Australians that every day is the day to ask, ‘are you OK?’ and start a meaningful conversation whenever they spot the signs that someone they care about might be struggling with life's ups and downs.
R U OK?Day is marked on the second Thursday of September and the next R U OK?Day is
Thursday 10 September 2026.
RESOURCES TO SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY
Fewer services, isolation and extreme weather events are just a few of the things that can make life harder to manage for those in regional and remote areas. Natural disasters and emergencies disrupt lives and routines. When things around us change, we change too – and what that means for us emotionally is different for everyone.
There can also be a ‘toughen up’ culture where it’s not always easy to talk about the things that keep us awake at night, or give us the confidence to ask a mate if everything is OK.
R U OK? has developed two versions of the Mateship Manual - The Rural and Remote Mateship Manual is there to help those in rural and remote areas support their mates and loved ones doing it tough. The Mateship Manual to Support Those Affected by a Natural Disaster or Emergency provides guidance and tips to help you support a family member, friend, neighbour or workmate affected by a natural disaster or an emergency now and into the future.
Both guides are FREE and can be downloaded in PDF format via the buttons below. Print versions are also available FREE through
the
R U OK? online store.
Resources for every day of the year
R U OK? has a wide variety of tailored resources to help you share and champion our message and encourage your school, workplace and community to stay connected and have regular meaningful conversations.
