Living Options at Australian Unity 

Australian Unity offers a mix of independent retirement living, assisted living options and aged care residences, depending on the community. 

Aged care access should not be assumed at every retirement community; you should confirm services, assessment requirements and availability with the specific Australian Unity location. 

What Does It Cost to Live in an Australian Unity Community? 

The cost of living in an Australian Unity retirement community depends on the location, home type, contract model, available services and current vacancy. 

Villages.com.au listings show a wide price range across Australian Unity communities, from lower-priced serviced apartment or one-bedroom options to premium villas and apartments in high-demand locations. 

Before signing, seek independent legal and financial advice so you understand entry costs, ongoing charges, exit fees and any aged care, assisted living or home service costs.

Villages.com.au listings mention amenities such as on-site managers, resident committees, medical alert systems, CCTV security, cafes, hairdressers, beauty salons, village buses, bars, vegetable gardens, high-speed broadband, storage for boats or caravans and walkable access to shops or transport.
