  • Emergency call pendants
  • Air-conditioning
  • Private balconies and/or courtyards
  • Beautifully landscaped gardens
  • Community and activity rooms

Accommodation and Pricing

One-bedroom apartments priced from $331,000.

Two-bedroom apartments prices from $404,000.

All St Vincent’s Care Services independent living units are managed under a Licence To Occupy structure. This means when you take up residence with us, you pay an ingoing contribution, which equates to the purchase cost of the unit and gives you a right to licence. This right to licence gives you a right to reside only, and means you are entitled to occupy the unit for up to 50 years (subject to earlier termination). In general, the ingoing contribution is lower than comparable units or apartments outside of a retirement village complex. 

In addition to your ingoing contribution for the physical unit, you pay daily fees to cover services within the independent living community – encompassing a general services charge and a maintenance reserve contribution.  These fees are similar to a body corporate fee structure when purchasing property in a unit building or managed site.

The general services charge helps to pay for day-to-day garden and site maintenance works, on-site recreation services, building insurance, rates and water charges, staff, and administration services. The maintenance reserve contribution goes into a long-term fund to help maintain the standard of the village. A capital replacement fund is also used to replace the village’s capital items.

Lifestyle

Our independent living communities offer an enviable retirement lifestyle. You will enjoy private, maintenance-free living with the comfort and security of on-site support.

Many of our independent living residents also take advantage of our community living services. Whether it’s lending a hand with day-to-day chores, organising visits to or from health professionals, or simply sharing a cup of tea and an enjoyable chat, we are here for you.

However, should the time come when you need additional care, you will be given priority access to our residential living services (subject to availability and care requirements), many of which are co-located with our independent living communities.

Pricing

It’s hard to say how much your personalised support will cost, as everyone’s needs and interests are different — and you may or may not be eligible for government subsidies. How much the government may ask you to contribute depends on your circumstances and is determined by income and health assessments.

Our services are also available on a fee-for-service basis. Download our current pricing schedules below.
