About GACS
Rebuilding, reimagining, and walking alongside our Aboriginal community in the Goldfields.
Our Story
Goldfields Aboriginal Community Services (GACS) has embarked on a transformative journey. Formerly known as the Goldfields Land and Sea Council, we underwent a significant organisational change in 2019 to better serve our community.
Today, GACS is committed to rebuilding and expanding our services, with a focus on care, culture, and education for Aboriginal people across the Goldfields region. We are dedicated to creating a vibrant, supportive environment where every community member - from our youngest learners through to our Elders - feels connected, valued, and empowered.
By drawing on the strength of our existing relationships and our Ranger funding, we are positioned to make a lasting impact as a leading Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) in the Goldfields.
Our Mission

Thank You to ABC Foundation
GACS would not be where we are today without the support of ABC Foundation, our On-Country partner.
ABCF walked with us through a period of significant change — helping us find our feet, rebuild with confidence, and step into the next chapter of our work with a clear plan for the future. Their belief in what GACS can be for the Goldfields has shaped our team, our direction, and our ability to serve community.
We are proud to continue that partnership as we grow.
