About the Retirement Villages Act 2003

The Retirement Villages Act 2003 introduced new rights and protections for residents, and intending residents, of retirement villages.  The Act also introduced new responsibilities for operators of retirement villages so that residents have a clear understanding of the financial and other obligations of being a resident, and to ensure residents receive what they were promised or are entitled to.
