Advocate Launches Retirement Village Reform Petition - The Weekly Source reports.

"The new wave of Consumer Advocacy: 

Victoria-based retirement village advocate Les Scobie is asking all State Governments for a range of reforms including:

  • Greater fairness in ‘financial outcomes’ for village residents;

  • Total revision of all retirement villages legislation;

  • The appointment of an industry Ombudsman;

  • An amendment to the legislated definition of a retirement village to allow for Residential Tenancies Agreements; and

  • Banning the Deferred Management Fee (DMF) model where the in-going fee does not reflect a “relevant discount” to the asking price of a similar property in the community. "
