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.

ACH Group’s new retirement living walking groups are bringing residents together for gentle, guided walks that support both physical and cognitive wellbeing.🚶‍♀️

The walking groups offer more than just exercise. It’s motivation, social connection, and a chance to catch up with friends.

Last week, during Brain Awareness Week, residents were reminded that supporting brain health doesn’t have to be complicated - sometimes it’s as simple as putting one foot in front of the other. 👣

For Helena, staying active is deeply personal and she was quick to join her local group in Marden. Both of her parents lived with dementia, shaping her commitment to looking after her brain and body.

💬“I love to read, do puzzles and play solitaire but I always find those things so much easier after a walk,” she says.

✨ A powerful reminder that small, everyday habits, and a few extra steps, can make a big difference to our brain health. 🧠💪

📸Here are a few snapshots from the group’s recent walk, featuring Helena (in the middle) alongside fellow residents Sue, Julie, Lou, Eileen and Marylin.
