Thinking about a retirement village or over 50s community? There’s plenty to look forward to....and a few important questions to ask before you start packing.

What will it cost? What happens if your care needs change? And what should you understand about leaving, before you move in?

Our very own Danielle Lim joined RFS Advice's Greg Black and Belinda Veriton on the 'Retirement Living Your Way' podcast to talk through the legal, financial and lifestyle considerations.

If you’re considering a move, or helping someone you love explore their options, this conversation is a good place to start.

Not every complaint is a dispute, and not every dispute needs a lawyer. But every situation does need to be handled well.

The real skill isn’t just knowing the legislation, it is knowing when to hold your position, and when it’s time to change approach.

The best outcomes don’t come from pushing harder. They come from reading the room, understanding what matters and responding accordingly.

On reflection, perhaps Kenny Rogers’ approach to holding and folding has more application to retirement living than we might have thought.

We believe strong communities are built on respect, understanding and a willingness to listen. That is why we are “All In” for reconciliation.

We acknowledge the Stolen Generations and reflect on the importance of truth, respect and understanding in our communities and beyond.

What we wish people knew before moving into a Village…

1. Fees will go up… and it’s not always just CPI.
2. The contract matters more than the brochure.
3. Exit fees vary between villages more than people expect.
4. You’re not just buying a home, you’re joining a community.
5. Getting advice early is always best.

We see the difference every day between those who go in informed… and those who don’t.

A little clarity at the start is the best way to make sure you are picking the best village for you!

We see the difference great care makes — every single day.

“Mum” isn’t just a title or a name. It is a role that shows up in a hundred different ways, every single day. Today, we celebrate all of it.

We are so privileged to work with a lot of incredible women, including mums, aunties, grandmothers and everything in between.
And behind the scenes, many of our own team are doing the same juggle… just with a few extra emails.

Happy Mother’s Day

In a galaxy far, far away…
..there are no disclosure periods, no settlement delays and everything runs on time.

Until then, we’re here to help.

May the 4th be with you. ✨🌠

Dementia is a cause close to the heart of the DSL Law team 💙

This May our Team is joining forces to take on the 44km for Dementia Challenge. We will be walking (and maybe a little jogging!) a combined 44km to help support a cure.

For us, this isn’t just a fundraiser. It’s something we see the impact of every day through our work. That makes it a cause that really matters to us.

We’ll be tracking our progress (and yes, family, friends and furry assistants 🐾 may be recruited along the way).

If you’d like to support our Team with a donation, it would be very much appreciated:
