The 2023 National Retirement Living Summit was exceptional. High quality speakers and a well run event that facilitated learning, collaboration and networking. It was an enjoyable and worthwhile event that brings together a wonderful range of industry players to benefit the industry as a collective.
A fantastic opportunity to come together to challenge thinking, develop new and better ideas and continue to explore the future of senior's communities in Australia.

Why attend?
Tony Randello, Chief Executive Officer of Aveo Group and the National President of the Retirement Living Council tells you why you should attend the National Retirement Living Summit 2024
As outlined in the most recent Intergenerational report, Australia is witnessing the transformative impact of an aging population, with far-reaching consequences for our socio-economic landscape. The surge in older citizens is driving heightened demand for healthcare, social services, and aged care facilities, all while intensifying the pressure on our housing markets.
Drawing from national and international insights, the National Retirement Living Summit showcases the retirement living sector as a vital component of Australia’s response to its aging population. Age-friendly communities and person-centered services promote independence, happiness, health, and wellbeing for residents. Access to affordable housing is vital for healthy ageing and its crucial for Australia’s undersupplied housing market.
The socio-economic benefits of having more older Australians in retirement communities are substantial, providing significant advantages to state, territory, and commonwealth governments, as it minimizes healthcare system interactions and delays entry into aged care facilities.
Recognising the retirement living sector’s role, we emphasise best practices from sales to managers, from maintenance workers to caregivers. In light of the demographic challenge, the Retirement Living Council presents thought-provoking speakers and leading experts across three days to explore the industry’s value proposition and the benefits age-friendly communities offer to older Australians.
