"My father must have been one of the few people who lost money when he sold his home in a booming Melbourne property market. This huge loss on his home, in a popular suburb not far from the CBD, was despite it selling for more than he paid for it. The problem? He bought into a retirement village." - Diana Thorp.

The Case For Retirement Village Reform In Pictures

Retirement Village reforms have been a hot topic since the ABC 4 Corners program 'Bleed Them Dry Until They Die' in 2017.

This 15 page e-book shows the need for retirement village reforms by showing the financial impacts upon retirees on entering a retirement village more in pictures (tables) rather than words.

Function of Government

The role of government is to create an environment for commerce to function whilst at the same time protecting retirees and particularly vulnerable retirees from both financial and emotional harm emanating from that function.

The Victorian Retirement Villages Act 1986 provides the environment for commerce to function but fails to fully protect retirees from financial and emotional harm as a result of it.

The Victorian legislative definition of a retirement village in demanding the payment of an 'in-going' amount without the transfer of property ownership is a major contributor to that financial and emotional harm suffered by retirees.
