Aboriginal Community Elders Services
(ACES)
ACES is a not-for-profit, Aboriginal community-controlled organisation dedicated to supporting and caring for our Elders.
We operate two co-located residential aged care facilities: the Nursing Home and the Hostel; providing safe, culturally appropriate care for our community.
ACES is a 25 bed (and growing) Residential Aged Care Facility situated in tranquil part of East Brunswick. We offer high and Low care services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Elders.
The Elder Care Outreach Program supports older people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds living in and around metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. We aim to assist Elders to remain living safely and independently in the comfort of their own homes and communities.
Our Elder Care Social Support Program provides activities and social connection for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, as well as people with a disability who live independently in the community. The program offers opportunities to engage with others outside the home in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Donations in Memoriam
In loving memory of Aunty Fay Carter OAM
In lieu of flowers and at the request of Aunty Fay’s family, tributes can be made in the form of contributions to the Aboriginal Community Elders Services Inc.
Aunty Fay dedicated her life to advocacy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
She often spoke of the Elders that formed and shaped her life – Aunty Fay was inspired by their determination to see their cultures, histories and connection to Country live on.
In 1992, inspired by Aunty Iris Lovett Gardiner’s idea for a caring place for Elders, Aunty Fay helped establish the Aboriginal Community Elders Service (ACES) that we know today
Aunty Fay immortalised that experience through her work as the first CEO of ACES which would then see her then move on to becoming life member and Board member of ACES until her passing.

ACES acknowledges and pay respects to all the Elders of the Traditional Owners of this land now known as Victoria.
Our service is based on the banks of the Merri Creek in Brunswick East on the lands of the proud Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
