Join Our CommunityG'day & Welcome Home!
Whether you're planning the big move, fresh off the plane, or a seasoned expat - this is your home away from Oz.
Through brunches that feel like weekend catch-ups back home, adventures that create lasting memories, and wellness sessions that nurture your mind, body + soul, we help you build the kind of connections that make an impact.
How We Started
It began with one homesick Aussie woman wandering the aisles of Waitrose in Dubai Mall when she heard another woman's familiar accent. That moment sparked the thought: "Where do I find some friends?" That simple, vulnerable question sparked something beautiful - a community built on the understanding that friendship isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.
Why We Exist
Because no Aussie woman should navigate living here alone. We're here to transform your experience of this incredible country from a place you simply live to a place you truly belong - genuine friendships flourish and adventures are always better shared.
Our Mission
We bring women together to share experiences, support one another and build lasting friendships.
Whether you join one event or become a regular, the choice is yours. All we ask? Say YES to something new. Step outside your comfort zone with women who understand the expat journey, the homesickness, and the excitement of building a new life.
This is your true-blue community to connect, unwind, laugh, and grow together - embracing life in Dubai with adventure, authenticity, and just the right amount of vulnerability.
Whatever brought you here, you're exactly where you're meant to be. And you're definitely not doing it alone.
