Carseldine

Accommodation and Pricing

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 in-going contribution, which equates to the purchase cost of the unit and gives you a right to licence. In general, the in-going contribution is lower than comparable units or apartments outside of a retirement village complex. 

In addition to your in-going contribution for your unit, you pay daily fees to cover services within the independent living community. These fees are similar to a body corporate fee structure when purchasing property in a unit building or managed site. This helps to pay for day-to-day garden and site maintenance works, on-site recreation services, building insurance, staff, and administration services, as well as contributing to a long-term fund to help maintain the standard of the village and to replace any capital items.
