#SayItNow returns in 2024 as Victorians join the conversation to celebrate the important people in their lives.

Victorians young and old are being encouraged to celebrate the important people in their lives during Tobin Brothers Funerals’ #SayItNow annual campaign, this year running from the 3rd to the 9th.

An initiative founded in 2016 and coming into its 8th year, the #SayItNow campaign is designed to inspire people to reach out to those they love and tell them how they really feel about them.

Whether it’s a family member, an old friend, or someone who was influential in their lives, Tobin Brothers is urging people to use #SayItNow to tell that special person about the impact they’ve had on their life and what that has meant to them.

This year we are thrilled to be joined by the following #SayItNow ambassadors who will help us spread this message!

  • AFLW player and specialist commentator Libby Birch.
  • Reclink founder and community legend, Peter Cullen AM.
  • Reverend Father Luciano Toldo from St Luke’s Church.
  • Olympian and two-time World Champion rower Katrina Werry.
  • Master Chef alumni and celebrity chef Sarah Todd. 
  • AFL player and Brownlow Medallist Adam Cooney.

The ambassadors will share their touching stories by expressing their appreciation for the impact a mentor, family member or friend has had on their life.


In previous years, personalities from a range of industries have shown their support for the campaign, including Les Twentyman, Moana Hope, Anthony "Lehmo" Lehmann, Peter Daicos, Archie Thompson, and many more.

Tobin Brothers Funerals Managing Director, James MacLeod says that “Too often, our people have witnessed the heartache suffered by families and friends who did not have an opportunity to acknowledge the impact a loved one has had on their life before they died.

“We felt compelled to develop #SayItNow week as a way of reminding people not to wait until it’s too late to express your thoughts and feelings to the people around you. #SayItNow week is a wonderful opportunity to encourage all Victorians to celebrate their important relationships by sending messages of gratitude to their loved ones.”


Moments can be shared on social media with the hashtag #SayitNow and the ambassador videos will be released daily right here on this page.

Catch the #SayItNow videos all week from the 3rd to the 9th of March and don't forget to use this opportunity to #SayItNow!
