Call for Council Members

Call for Council Members


Last year the Retirement Villages’ Residents’ Council was formed to be a voice for residents, with strong links to both residents and operators for the benefit of those living in retirement villages. The Council members' terms will all be at an end 10 October, so the Council is calling for residents to be nominated for the Council.


All nominated residents will ideally be put forward by a resident committee, but can also be nominated by two other residents. Last year, the chair was delighted by the large number of high calibre applicants who wanted to be on the Council. That enabled a Council that was diverse and representative of those living in retirement villages. This year, we expect a similar response and with the new criteria that residents can only be nominated by resident committees or other residents, the Council’s representative nature will be bolstered. 


The independent chair of the Council, Deborah Hart will make appointments by early October.

"Like many others, I enjoy retirement village life and have embraced this new phase wholeheartedly. But there’s a lot that needs fixing, which is why the last Government launched a review of retirement villages."
