Jim Hazel inducted as RLC Honorary Life Member

Retirement industry luminary Jim Hazel has been inducted as a Retirement Living Council Honorary Life Member at its annual awards gala dinner on the Gold Coast.

The RLC’s gala dinner took place at the 2023 National Retirement Living Summit, with industry leaders paying tribute to Mr Hazel.

RLC Executive Daniel Gannon said his induction as a Life Member is a well-deserved acknowledgement of his longstanding contribution to industry.

“As an industry leader, Jim has made an outstanding contribution to the Australian property sector, especially through the growth and development of retirement living,” he said.

“Through his unique perspective on ageing, Jim has contributed to the improvement and advancement of seniors housing across Australia and helped shape the retirement living industry as an executive, investor, advocate, and innovator.”

RLC National President and Aveo Group CEO Tony Randello paid tribute to Mr Hazel.

“Jim has always shown passion and respect for customers in our industry and has given countless hours to the industry in driving legislative outcomes with balance for developers, operators and customers,” he said.

“This important recognition and his induction as an Honorary Life Member of the RLC will come as a surprise to no-one in industry.”

The Ingenia Chairman, Bendigo & Adelaide Bank board director and member of the COTA Australia board, expressed his gratitude.

“I’ve never been motivated by individual awards or accolades, but this is an enormous privilege and a great honour,” said Mr Hazel.

“Creating age-friendly and care-focused communities for senior Australians is a great pleasure, something that I’ve taken very seriously, and a focus that will remain for many years to come.”

Jim Hazel joins Derek McMillan and Alison Quinn as Honorary National Life Members of the RLC.
