The @DanielAndrewsMP government is moving toward a review of the #retirmentvillages Act. Governments have been here before and failed. Will @MarleneKairouz and @consumervic get it right this time. Sadly history says they won't. #vicpol #springst @michaelobrienmp @VictorianLabor pic.twitter.com/T8YGsBNw8V

Victorian Retirement Village Legislative Review

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.
