Retirement village

Eligibility for Rent Assistance when you’re 55 or older and live in a retirement village.

Special rules for people living in a retirement village

Using the amount you paid when you entered the retirement village we assess if you’re either, a:

  • home owner
  • non-home owner.

If you’re assessed as a non-homeowner you may get Rent Assistance. We base the assistance on your ongoing fees in the retirement village.

Find out how we assess retirement villages as assets.

Rent Assistance is payable to eligible customers. Find out about who can get it.
