Arcadia Retirement Living with 159 independent living apartments and a 10-suite care hub is located in Economic Development Queensland’s Yeronga Priority Development Area.

CEO Dr Brett Robinson recently opened its first Care Hub at The Verge at Burleigh on the Gold Coast in May; this will be RetireAustralia’s second Care Hub.
