AMCS wins national Ageing Australia award for Consumer Focus & Care

AMCS is proud to announce that we have been named the winner of the Organisation-Based Award – Consumer Focus & Care at the 2026 Ageing Australia ‘You Are ACE!’ Awards.

Presented by Ageing Australia, the national peak body for aged care providers, the ‘You Are ACE!’ Awards recognise organisations and individuals who demonstrate excellence, innovation and leadership across the aged care sector. With hundreds of submissions received from across Australia, being recognised as the national winner is a significant achievement.

The award celebrates AMCS’s commitment to placing older people at the centre of everything we do. It acknowledges our focus on delivering high-quality, culturally responsive care that empowers people from diverse communities to live independently, with dignity and confidence.

AMCS Chief Executive Officer Maryanne Tadic said the award reflects the dedication of the organisation’s entire workforce:

“This is an outstanding achievement and one that belongs to every single member of the AMCS team. To be recognised as the national winner is an incredible endorsement of who we are, how we work, and the impact we have on the people and communities we serve. Every day, our people demonstrate compassion, professionalism and an unwavering commitment to delivering person-centred care. Whether working directly with clients or supporting our services behind the scenes, every team member has contributed to this achievement.”

Over recent years, AMCS has continued to strengthen its services while navigating significant reform across the aged care sector. Through this period of change, our focus has remained on improving the experience and outcomes of the people we support, ensuring our services continue to reflect the needs, preferences and cultural backgrounds of our diverse communities.

This national recognition is a testament to the dedication of our staff, volunteers, leadership team and Board, and to the trust that our clients and their families place in us every day.

We thank everyone who has contributed to this achievement and congratulate the entire AMCS community on this remarkable recognition.
