On Sunday 30 November 2024, despite the enormous downpour of rain, the Leith Park community gathered in the Herb Garden to unveil the “Tree of Life” mosaic, a stunning collaborative artwork created by residents over the past year.

On Monday 11 November, we celebrated our 155th Annual General Meeting.

We are delighted to announce that Abound Communities has been successful in its application for Vice-Regal Patronage from The Governor of Victoria, Professor the Honourable Margaret Gardner AC.

With great excitement we can announce that the services that will be available to the residents of Abound Communities, has been extended to Home Care.

Leith Park blokes love their Men’s Shed so much so that they have outgrown their existing shed.

PROVIDING SAFE AND AFFORDABLE LIVING FOR OLDER VICTORIANS SINCE 1869.
Abound Communities is one of the oldest not-for-profit organisations in Australia. It was formed in 1869 by a group of prominent Melburnians wanting to provide older Victorians with somewhere secure and affordable to live, support if they needed it, and a community in which they felt engaged.
The association’s first village was located in Rushall Park, North Fitzroy after the Government of Victoria gifted an acreage of land. These historic cottages continue to provide affordable housing to older Victorians.
Today, Abound Communities is a leading not-for-profit provider offering a continuum of care from independent living, assisted living , Home Care and residential aged care. Our four villages - including Berwick, Euroa, North Fitzroy and St Helena – house over 500 older Victorians.
Our mission is to advocate and provide affordable, safe and dignified independent homes for older Victorians within a village environment, and to offer appropriate and practicable extended care when it is required. We are a diverse and inclusive employer.

Abound Communities is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission and donations over $2 are fully tax-deductible.
