Gather My Crew helps turn “Let me know if there’s anything I can do” into useful, practical support from the people who already care about you. We’ve got you
We know asking for help can feel uncomfortable, even when you know people want to help.
We make those conversations easier, with simple words to use, practical prompts, and gentle ways to accept help without the guilt or awkwardness.
We help you identify the small, practical things that can make a big difference, from running errands and mowing the lawn to school pick-ups and checking in.
Our printable ‘Small Things That Would Help’ list makes it easier to work out what you need and where others can lend a hand.
The free Gather My Crew app makes it easy to coordinate practical help, without messy group chats, awkward asks, or trying to keep track of who can do what and when.
It’s free, private, and trusted by health professionals across Australia.
We've hand-picked a select few resources to help you get started on your journey.
Asking for and accepting help doesn’t make you weak. It makes you a leader, reassuring others that it’s okay for them to ask for help if they ever need it.
And it gives your community a chance to show up for you in meaningful ways. People love to help!
Yes absolutely.
The app is designed to be simple and intuitive, even if you’re not confident with tech. And if you get stuck, our Help Desk is staffed by real people, ready to guide you through it step by step.
Even a small crew can make a big difference.
Some of our strongest Crews only have a handful of people, close friends, a neighbour, or family. If you’d like to widen your circle, our resources include ideas for where to find more support in your local community.
No. You’re not bothering anyone, you’re giving them a chance to do what they do best: help, care, and feel useful.
Our guidance and resources include gentle ways to ask for and accept help, so it feels natural for everyone involved.
People are more likely to say yes when it’s clear what they’re being asked to do, and when it’s easy for them to do it.
The Gather My Crew app helps by breaking support into clear, practical tasks, and our free resources offer guidance on how to ask in ways that make it easier for people to step in.
Start small.
The key is to make tasks easy to say yes to. One meal, one lift, one small errand. Once people understand what’s needed, they’re usually quick to step up.
Our in-app guidance includes tips on how to list tasks so that they’re easy to say yes to, so everyone feels comfortable helping.
Yes, completely.
Your details are stored securely in Australia and are never shared or sold.
Gather My Crew is private by design. You choose who’s in your Crew and what they can see.
You can also use our Inner Circle feature to keep sensitive updates or personal tasks just between your closest people, while leaving everyday jobs (like meals or errands) visible to the wider crew.
Anyone you trust. Usually it’s family, friends, neighbours, colleagues, community members.
If you’re short on people, check out our list of local community ideas to help you connect with others.
Our Help Desk is run by real people, not bots.
If you need a hand setting up your Crew or just want to talk it through, we’re here for you.
Real stories from people who have been there, sharing what helped, what they learned and the difference support from others can make.
