Housing Type: Independent Living Units

Not-for-profit retirement villages may also be known as Independent Living Units (ILUs). They are found throughout Victoria and are managed by hundreds of different non-profit and charitable organisations. They are comprised mainly of self-contained, one bedroom and bedsitter units.

Eligibility for Independent Living Units is as varied as the number of organisations that manage them. Generally, they are available for people over 60 years of age who have retired from full-time employment. The vast majority of residents are on the aged pension.

There are many different costs involved when entering a retirement village or ILU such as;

  • an ingoing fee,
  • ongoing charges, and;
  • exit fees.

In some cases an ingoing payment is not required where not-for-profit providers focus on the needs of older people on low incomes.

ILUs though may be covered by either the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 or the Retirement Villages Act 1986.

Ingoing costs are paid on moving to the new home. They may not include ongoing costs of rent or service fees. We haven't recorded information on ingoing costs for many residences, so residences you are eligible may appear here that you may not be able to afford
