Public submissions to Victorian Government review of #retirementvillage legislation closing. Will they get it right this time? History indicates they will fail, seduced by industry lobbying. Maybe just import NSW version. @MarleneKairouz @consumervic @michaelobrienmp #springst pic.twitter.com/5hb7lW3Oam

Victorian Government to Review Retirement Villages Act

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.
