Every day ACH Group staff proudly follow in the footsteps of the organisation’s trailblazing founder Sir Keith Wilson, continuing to work in innovative ways and support older people to live and age well.

ACH Group has been a pioneer in developing new models of care, including Community Options – the forerunner to today’s Commonwealth Home Support Program, a Nursing Home Options Program – now known as Home Care Packages.

We enjoy partnerships with universities and like-minded organisations to engage in Australian-first research projects where findings can make a difference in our service design and delivery.

We are also champions of challenging ageist stereotypes, with ACH Group staff and volunteers drawing guidance from our Good Lives Philosophy to be strident leaders in a movement rethinking ageing and what older people bring to our society.

Here’s to 70 years of ACH Group.

🎉 Happy Birthday to Nel, who celebrated an incredible 101 years surrounded by friends at Highercombe Residential Care Home, with her daughter Elly and daughter‑in‑law Gayle joining to mark this very special milestone 💐💖🎂

Here are some of Nel’s reflections for a life well lived:

“I have liked to live an honest life, when people would ask me questions, I would always tell the truth.”

“A girl once said to me, can you tell me a secret of your old age, I said you have to believe in the creator. I put my heart and soul into faith. I don’t put my beliefs onto people but I have always had faith.”

“You are born with your own free will.”

“Live in the moment.”

Wise, thoughtful and inspiring - thank you, Nel! Happy birthday, from all of us✨🌸
