The Village Retirement Group

What The Village Retirement Group does

The Village Retirement Group is a privately-held, family-owned operator of independent living retirement communities headquartered in Fortitude Valley, Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1998 by Michael Harrison and now led by his son Justin Harrison as Managing Director, the company operates five award-winning retirement villages across Brisbane and Toowoomba (Coorparoo, Redcliffe, Taigum, Toowoomba, and Yeronga), with a sixth village under construction in Manly and a seventh preselling in Nundah for early 2026. The portfolio accommodates nearly 2,000 residents in 2- to 4-bedroom apartments, villas, and luxury penthouses, each featuring premium amenities such as heated pools, cinemas, gyms, restaurants, and recreational gardens.

The company generates revenue through three primary streams: one-time sale or perpetual license of retirement villas and apartments (e.g., 3-bedroom apartments from $1.3M at Manly), recurring village service fees for maintenance and amenities, and recurring home care services through its wholly-owned subsidiary The Village Home Care Services Pty Ltd, an approved Home Care Package provider offering personal care, nursing, domestic assistance, and respite care. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, with dedicated sales managers and physical sales offices at each village, supported by website enquiry forms, VIP preview events, and content marketing through a blog and Village Living magazine.

The Village differentiates on a family-owned, community-anchored model with pet-friendly accommodation, partnerships with Anglicare Southern Queensland (Taigum and Manly) and Brodribb Aged Care (Toowoomba) for integrated aged care pathways, and a recently launched resident-facing app nominated for a National Retirement Living Award. The company employs 51-100 people and is domiciled in Queensland with no geographic expansion plans beyond the Brisbane and Toowoomba markets indicated.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Estia Health: Estia Health is one of Australia's largest residential aged-care providers. Adjacent to TVRG's independent-living focus but a relevant benchmark for the broader Queensland senior-care market and a potential transition partner for TVRG residents.
• Stockland Retirement Living: Stockland runs one of Australia's largest retirement-living portfolios within its diversified property developer business. Comparable to TVRG on the retirement-village offering but materially larger and broader in scope.
• Regis Healthcare: Regis is a large Australian aged-care provider focused on residential aged care (higher acuity). It is adjacent rather than directly competitive with TVRG but operates in the same senior-care ecosystem in Queensland and serves as a comparator for the aged-care continuum.
• Lendlease Retirement Living: Lendlease operates retirement villages as part of a large diversified property and construction platform. It is comparable to TVRG on product (independent-living retirement communities) but operates nationally and across multiple real-estate asset classes.

Direct peers

• Aveo Group: Aveo is Australia's largest retirement living operator with ~13,000 residents across a national portfolio. It is the closest direct competitor to TVRG, operating independent-living communities with similar entry-fee/service-fee economics, and serves as the most relevant scale benchmark for TVRG's Queensland portfolio.
• Arvida Group: Arvida is a New Zealand retirement-village operator with a continuum-of-care model spanning independent living through dementia care. Comparable to TVRG on resident segmentation, premium village design, and care partnership strategy.
• Bolton Clarke: Bolton Clarke operates retirement-living communities and at-home care services across Queensland and Australia. Comparable to TVRG on retirement community operating model and integrated home-care service offering in the same regional catchment.
• Summerset Group Holdings: Summerset operates retirement villages across New Zealand with a focus on independent living and continuum-of-care villages. Highly comparable to TVRG on village design, premium positioning, and integrated care model.
• Ryman Healthcare: Ryman is a leading Australasian retirement village and aged-care operator with an integrated independent-living-to-care model. It mirrors TVRG's premium, vertically-integrated approach and is one of the closest comparables on operating model and resident experience.

Regional players

• RSL Care (now part of Bolton Clarke): RSL Care was a Queensland-rooted retirement and aged-care provider that merged into Bolton Clarke. It is historically comparable to TVRG on Queensland retirement community operations and remains a regional benchmark for Queensland senior living.
