Welcome - your chronic bestie is waiting to meet you!
How it works
Alexa, Brisbane
As a 25year old recently diagnosed with Endo none of my mates really get it. When I met *Anna - everything changed.
Eliza, Melbourne
I met a ‘me’ who gets the pain and the cancelled texts without making me feel guilty. Game changer.
Darcy, Sydney
I have ME/CFS and its been hard finding people to talk to about all my weird side effects. It has helped me so much to find my new BFF.
Why we're different
We match by condition first.
Finding someone who actually gets it changes everything. We start with your condition. If we can’t find an exact match, we pair you within your category. As we grow, your matches will get even closer. Bear with us if it takes a couple of tries.
You are more than your diagnosis.
We layer in interests and life stage. Want a co-worker-from-bed buddy, a dog-chat friend, or someone who gets study deadlines when you have a flare-up? Sorted.
Safety first, always.
We verify members to keep out fakes and spammers. We never post your personal details in groups. You decide what to share and when.
Accessibility comes standard.
Captioned video calls, audio-only, message-first, quiet-venue tips, or need a wheelchair-friendly meetups. Tell us what you need and we will ensure your match can adjust.
Our manifesto
We are the women who looked like fine and weren’t.
Some of us faded at twelve. Some of us last year.
We were told to be low-maintenance and high-performing.
We did both, then disappeared in plain sight.
We are done with that.
We are the girls who smiled through pain and still nailed the brief.
We missed the party, the deadline, the bus, the diagnosis, the memo.
We know what it is to be overlooked and still show up.
We are done apologising for it.
We have conditions, not character flaws.
We carry pill organisers alongside big dreams.
We cry in loos and laugh in group chats - the ones we’re not removed from.
We bring heat, heart, pills, receipts, and snacks.
We want most of the same things you do, we just have to do them differently.
Our life stages do not always run on the standard timetable.
We hunt for advice and maps that actually fit our bodies and lives.
We write Plan B, then C, then the plan that finally makes sense.
We reject the rules that punish unpredictability.
We reject pity disguised as help.
We reject ableism dressed up as “standards” and “culture fit”.
We reject the idea that success has one speed.
We are not victims of our diagnoses.
We are survivors, strategists, and system rewriters.
We turn symptoms into signals and roadblocks into reroutes.
We don’t make magic in the margins. We redraw the map so more of us can travel.
We match with people like us so the room finally feels safe.
We swap stories that shrink shame.
We trade hacks, doctors, templates, and hope.
We test solutions, not each other’s thresholds.
We laugh loudly. We cry loudly. We live loudly.
We make space for the days we cannot move and the days we move mountains.
We count wins that don’t fit the old scorecard.
We celebrate the comeback and the careful pace that made it possible.
We build workplaces that fit real bodies and real lives.
We design businesses that flex with flare-ups.
We demand leadership that measures trust, not just timesheets.
We teach the world that accessibility is not a favour. It is the floor.
We see each other.
We back each other.
We rise together, no woman left hiding.
If you need a sign, this is it.
If you need a bestie, she is waiting inside.
If you need permission, we wrote it for you.
We are Unitely.
We are here.
We are visible.
We are yours.
Created by you, with you and for you.
