The Retirement Village Residents Association (Inc.), NSW has been in operation for over 30 years (incorporated on 22nd February 1990).

Today, it is a professional, non-profit association and a registered charity, with Deductible Gift Status, which helps us to accept donations from generous members, families, and other supporters.  

NSW Fair Trading recognises the Association and The Property Council of Australia as peak bodies representing their respective members.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the RVRA is to represent and support retirement village residents across NSW with information, advice, and advocacy so that they can navigate the sometimes confusing and stressful events that occur in village life.

OUR AIMS

Our association strives to:

• Assist Residents to understand their rights and obligations
• Defend and Extend the Rights of residents in Retirement Villages
• Encourage Residents to exercise their rights, and participate in the decision-making processes affecting their lives
• Assist Residents to develop an effective Residents Committee
• Offer Information and Advice to intending residents and their families
• Promote Positive Relationships between residents and management

MANAGEMENT

The affairs of the association are managed by a Board consisting of 8 members. All Board members are residents of retirement villages or associate members and are dedicated to ensuring they achieve the objectives and aims of the Association.

Board members have a wide range of knowledge and experience and work voluntarily in the interests of their fellow residents. The Board meets on a regular basis.

The RVRA Committee has vacancies from time to time and would welcome expressions of interest from any retirement village resident who would like to work for their fellow residents. Please Contact Us to express your interest. 

Please Note: The RVRA has no paid full time staff (only limited clerical assistance). Correspondence, emails and phone calls will be attended to as soon as possible, by Admin or by one of the Members of the voluntary Board.
