flag Australia faces a 40,000-unit retirement village shortfall, threatening elderly housing access.

flag Australia faces a severe shortage of retirement village housing, with only 18,000 new units planned in the next five years—far below the estimated 60,000 needed due to a rapidly aging population. flag Experts warn the 40,000-unit gap threatens access to housing for older adults, who benefit from improved health, social connection, and lower hospitalization rates in retirement communities. flag Limited land availability, especially in desirable urban areas, and competition from residential developers hinder progress. flag Advocates urge policymakers to designate more land for retirement living and recognize its role in healthcare and urban planning.
