Policy

We are committed to ensuring that local, state and federal governments hear and respond to our united voice.

Retirement villages are not just about property. Our industry was established in response to a crying need in our community – the long-term housing and support for older Australians.

With population ageing, more than ever our voices need to be heard loud and clear.

Retirement villages are:

• A crucial part of the housing mix required for older Australians, at prices they can afford
• An ideal market solution to social problems faced by older Australians
• Places where people want to live – and a prime example of enabling older Australians to live happily and healthily
• More cost-efficient hubs for delivery of in-home care and health services than other models
• A huge saving for governments on the cost of accommodation with ancillary services
• A way to free up housing supply , and allow demand to better match supply.
