The "Have Your Say" national survey report is now available on the NSW RVRA website.

The national survey gathered insights from over 4,100 residents across the country. This survey provides a powerful voice for retirement village residents, highlighting both the benefits of village living and areas needing reform.

The findings confirm what many have shared previously:

84% of residents are satisfied with village life, valuing security, social connections, and lower home maintenance.
However, many residents struggle with contract complexities, exit fees, and financial transparency, with 63% unclear about how their exit fees are calculated.
