Do you want help or advice?
There is a wealth of information here on this website, but if you want specific advice about a specific problem contact us via the form below, or by telephone ((08) 8232 0422). But please remember:
- Although SARVRA is here to help all SA retirement village residents, we are a member-based association; we have no paid staff, with all enquiries and administration dealt with by members who volunteer to be on the SARVRA Committee.
- We are a not-for-profit association and we rely on our members to fund our activities (via a $5 per year membership fee), and to provide strength in numbers for our lobbying capacity.
- If you are a member of SARVRA your questions or enquiry can be answered, but please understand that if you are not a member and are seeking advice, that we are unable to serve you.
- However, should you be seeking advice on behalf of a former resident who has passed away we are able to assist upon confirmation that the former resident was a member during the previous 12 months.
Help us to help you. It costs only $5 per year which goes a long way to helping us stay strong! Become a member yourself and invite your fellow residents to join us too.
