Real mates.
Crewmen create connections with real mates. Mates that you can relate to. It could be based on where you’re at in life, your past experiences, future aspirations, hobbies or interests. Crewmen show up for each other when you need them.
Real life.
Crewmen bring mates together in real life by making and participating in ‘callouts’. These in-person experiences can be anything from drinks at the local, exercise, meeting at a park with kids, grabbing a meal or seeing a movie. At the heart of callouts is the opportunity for mateship, fun and support where Crewmen are non-judgemental and respectful of each other’s experiences, values and qualities.
Real good.
Crewmen bring goodness to the lives of everyone. A sense of camaraderie that a mate is a callout away and has your back is invaluable to health and wellbeing. And the real good bit is that happiness and fulfilment are contagious in all aspects of our lives, coming back to the lives of our loved ones, family and friends. Through our Crewmen Fund, premium members can continue to spread the good by being part of events and volunteering opportunities that make a real difference. How good is that!
Who we are
Crewmen is a growing network of mates.
Mates… we all have them, but we increasingly seem to get busy with family, work and other distractions. It can be hard finding someone to do things with as everyone juggles their own timing and commitments, but you don’t have to miss out.
On Crewmen, you can find mates to catch up with that are a lot like you. As we get older we evolve. So do our interests, beliefs, circumstances and personalities. The Crewmen app’s algorithm will use your profile information to find mates that match your interests and location settings in two ways:
- Crewmen suggests “callouts” (events created by other members) for you to attend
- Crewmen distributes “callouts” you create to other members for them to attend
How good is it knowing you have a wider circle of mates to connect with regularly? We still have our other mates, but having Crewmen that can relate to us now and where our life is heading means we can have a positive and active influence on each other.
And the even better part is, you are supporting and can get involved in the Crewmen Fund, which spreads goodness to the wider community.

The impact of life-changing events
Life-changing events can also play a part in re-establishing or re-setting our networks and finding new mates.
All of us will go through one at some point, leaving us feeling unsettled and disoriented. Some may even experience them multiple times throughout their life. Major life events are challenging, and sometimes we need help navigating them. Mates can remind you that you’re not alone on your journey and provide a solid support network.
Life-changing events could be any one of the following:
- Divorce
- Relationship break up
- Moving interstate, overseas or from a rural town to a city and vice versa
- Death of a partner, friend or family member
- Birth of children
- Major physical trauma or illness
- Unexpected PTSD (Post Traumatic Syndrome Disorder)
- A complete change in career or unemployment
- Retirement
- Children leaving home
If your life, circumstances or interests have changed, you don’t have to do it alone.
The Australian Psychological Society discovered that one in two (50.5%) Australians feel lonely for at least one day a week, while one in four (27.6%) feel lonely for three or more days.
Loneliness may signify that a person’s relationships are inadequate or don’t meet their expectations or needs.
Whatever the reason or circumstance, you will find a Crewmen member that is very similar to you and happy to meet.
It’s also important to remember that your friends influence your life. The key to a smoother, more successful and fulfilling life, is finding and surrounding yourself with positive influences and mates. Mates who have your back, are there for you and want you to succeed.
When we have a positive influence in our lives, we bring that positivity and motivation back to our loved ones. Our children, our partners, our family and existing friends. It has a powerful flow-on effect that can only bring more happiness to everyone else who is in our life.
