About ralac

ralac is a proud community based NFP providing affordable housing and residential care to the elderly or vulnerable in our community. We operate across three sites in Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs.

Lionsbrae is our residential care home with a difference. We are small, independent, community based, and we care. Lionsbrae is a unique residential care home in Ringwood East and our residents reflect the vibrancy and diversity of the broader community: many are elderly, many are under 65, some need a high level of care, and some are NDIS participants.


Our History

ralac's heritage stems back to 1963 with the opening of the Lionswood Village affordable housing site in Kirk Street, Ringwood. Later in 2003, three regional Lions Clubs merged their respective community housing and aged care services to create Ringwood Area Lions Aged Care Inc. and ‘ralac' was born.
