Retirement Living Update – The Australian Consumer Law and the new Retirement Villages Regulations 2017 (NSW)
The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) has recently
announced that it will launch an investigation of the “more serious matters
being raised” in the Aveo retirement village scandal.
ACCC Chairman Rod Sims said there also needs to be a wider review of the
sector, which should involve the Australian Securities and Investment
Commission (ASIC) and state regulators.
There are three main areas the ACCC will investigate; misleading conduct,
unfair contract terms and unconscionable conduct. Note that also Fair Trading has recently commenced auditing Retirement Village
Operators.
Join Alison Choy-Flannigan from Holman Webb Lawyers to discover what retirement
village operators need to know about the Australian Consumer Law, the
Retirement Villages Act 1999 (NSW) and the new Retirement Villages Regulations
2017 (NSW).
This session is a must see for C-level and other executive retirement village staff.
