Membership
Becoming a member strengthens the representation of retirement village residents and increases the level of support that the Association can offer. The more village residents join the ACT RVRA, the greater our influence in dealings with other bodies including retirement village operators and government.
ACT RVRA is financially and constitutionally independent of political parties and those involved in the development and management of retirement villages.
