Join Our Community of Caring

At ACES, volunteers are crucial to our community, helping us honour Aunty Iris Lovett Gardiner’s vision of immense caring for our Elders. By giving your time; whether a few hours or on a regular basis, you’ll support cultural activities, social programs, events, and daily care, all within an organisation grounded in Aboriginal cultural practices and community connection. Volunteering offers a meaningful way to learn from Elders’ wisdom while contributing to a safe, caring environment and continuing the cultural legacy envisioned by our founders. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds who share our commitment to respect, cultural warmth, and community spirit

ACES acknowledges and pays 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.
