The aged care and retirement village sector faces two major issues: a growing aging population which will require specially-designed accommodation and lifestyle environments; and a requirement to operate across state borders without regulatory and legislative uniformity, without certainty over taxation issues and without standard contracts and documentation. Our unique team has market-leading knowledge and experience of the health, aged care, and retirement village industries. We provide a unique combination of specialist corporate, property development and health, aged care and retirement village expertise.

Our clients include Australia’s most highly respected health services providers, aged care providers, retirement village developers, health insurance companies and pharmaceutical providers.
