Events & Activities

At Aboriginal Community Services, we recognise that for many Elders, health and wellbeing is deeply linked to staying connected to culture, community and Country.

Our events are thoughtfully planned to support the emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing of Elders, whether they live at home or in our residential aged care home.

Each year, we hold major events marking important dates on the First Nations calendar including NAIDOC Week, when we celebrate our culture, serving lunch and providing entertainment to more than 300 Elders and their carers from across the state.

We run inter-generational playgroups and hold Yarning Groups across metropolitan Adelaide in which Elders enjoy cooking, crafts and day trips.
