Admitting its data on its operation is inadequate, the Property Council’s Retirement Living Council is paying for global consultants Accenture to fix that issue. 

Retirement Living Council President and Aveo Group CEO, Tony Randello (pictured right with from left: RLC Executive Director Daniel Gannon, NSW Retirement Villages Residents Association President Craig Bennett, Association of the Residents of Queensland Retirement Villages Association President Judy Mayfield and ACT Retirement Villages Residents Association representative Janine Lewis) believes the sector has a lot to be proud off. 

“We account for over 300,000 accommodation units. That’s 230,000 retirement village units and 75,000 land lease units, compared to 76,000 Purpose-Built Student Accommodation units, 4,000 Build-to-Rent units, which we hear a lot about; and 190,000 Residential Aged Care places.” 

He said Accenture has been asked to capture the positive data about retirement living “to help us open doors and talk about the things that are important to us,” Tony said.  

This research, which is mission critical for the RLC, will provide evidence to Governments that industry enriches the lives of seniors who live in a retirement living community, while also outlining the contribution they make to the lives of older people and the broader national economy. 

A strong and engaged industry body is one that is equipped with a compelling library of thought leadership and growing in membership – this report seeks to address both fronts.
