Retirement villages not included in Royal Commission
You must probably have heard but we will confirm that the Royal Commission into aged care has not been extended to include retirement villages.
This is despite a concerted push by the consumer advocacy Law Centre of Victoria and some state resident associations who hoped to achieve the appointment of an ombudsman in each state.
It is likely that submissions will be made to the Royal commission drawing in retirement villages combined with home care delivery but this will be a side issue.
