Village Life

Independent Living with Support When Needed 
We support residents to age in place for as long as possible. As care needs change, residents can access external aged care services through My Aged Care while remaining in their village home.

Pet Friendly 
Residents are welcome to bring their pets to the village (prior approval and guidelines apply).

Work-Life Flexibility 
Residents are welcome to continue working if they choose, giving you greater flexibility over your lifestyle.
