SARVRA
  • Membership is available to any person who is a permanent resident of a retirement village.
  • Aims to "Advance the interests of the residents of retirement villages".
  • Always aims, to work towards achieving the best outcome for residents - to ensure that expectations are realistic.
  • On invitation, will provide a speaker to:
    1. a. Persons seeking advice on forming a 'Residents Committee' or establishing a constitution suitable to the needs of a village.
    2. b. Clubs or any other interested groups.
  • Does not go into a village to resolve any problem that residents may have - but does give advice on how best to solve the problem, and where to go if it seems that the problem cannot be resolved by conciliation.
  • Is always available for information and help - our main concern is for village life to be satisfying.
  • Continues to represent the interests of residents as it works closely with those involved in the formation of legislation relating to retirement villages.
  • Management Committee is made up of elected members (each living in a different retirement village). The committee, representing many years of village living experience, meets monthly to deal with matters raised by members and other matters concerning the interests of members.
  • Has an excellent working relationship with officers assigned to retirement village matters in the Seniors Information Service, Office for the Ageing and other Government bodies.
  • President is a member of the Retirement Villages Advisory Committee, which meets on a regular basis. This committee includes representatives of owners of private sector villages and representatives of the 'not for profit organization' owned villages.
  • Receives no funding from Government thus allowing complete independence of view and representation.
