Value For Money

We believe Chatsford offers the finest value of any community of its type in Australasia.

The daily running costs of Chatsford and the personal services available operate on a cost recovery basis. For this reason Chatsford offers one of the lowest living costs of any similar community in the country.

Chatsford's community now operates under the Retirement Villages Act 2003 and offers residence within the community through an Occupation Right Agreement. The main reason for the introduction of this Act was to protect the interests of residents and intending residents of retirement villages. A Statutory Supervisor, approved by the Government, ensures villages are operating responsibly and that residents receive accurate and complete information on how the village is performing.
