We are currently at a crucial time when it comes to policies and law reform surrounding retirement housing.

HAAG has been working with Consumer Action Law Centre (CALC), Council on the Ageing (COTA), Residents of Retirement Villages Victoria (RRVV) and Justice Connect for a couple of years now to push forward much needed reform in the retirement housing sector.

Along with the work undertaken over many years by HAAG’s Caravan and Residential Parks and Villages (CARPAV) and ILU working groups, and the lobbying undertaken by many of HAAGs members, a parliamentary inquiry into retirement housing was achieved.

Now those residents face eviction, but they're not taking it lying down. Guest host Aoife Cooke brings us audio from a recent meeting organised by the residents to demand better treatment and protection for themselves and other park residents.
