Vote NO Retirement Villages

VOTE NO to the new Retirement Villages Act.

The new act perpetuates the retiree rip-off by charging a 'purchase price without property ownership' to obtain entry.

The village owner/operator is authorised by the act to transfer all the costs of property ownership to the retiree whilst retaining all the benefits for themselves.

The business model inherent within the act hides what is simply residential tenancy by any other name but a demonstrably higher price.

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.
