May8 is our new national day for mateship.
Mateship has long been part of Australia’s story.
It’s a value many of us hold close. Loyalty. Equality. Friendship. Looking out for one another.
May 8 is that day. A day for all of us to reach out, show up, and remind the people around us they matter.
Why May 8 ?
May + Eight = MAY8
Why not May8?!
What’s happening this May8?
