membership is available to any person who is a permanent resident of a retirement village.
SARVRA
aims to "Advance the interests of the residents of retirement villages".
SARVRA
always aims, to work towards achieving the best outcome for residents - to ensure that expectations are realistic.
SARVRA
on invitation, will provide a speaker to: a. Persons seeking advice on forming a 'Residents Committee' or establishing a constitution suitable to the needs of a village. b. Clubs or any other interested groups.
SARVRA
does not go into a village to resolve any problem that residents may have - but does give advice on how best to solve the problem, and where to go if it seems that the problem cannot be resolved by conciliation.
SARVRA
is always available for information and help - our main concern is for village life to be satisfying.
SARVRA
continues to represent the interests of residents as it works closely with those involved in the formation of legislation relating to retirement villages.
SARVRA
Management Committee is made up of elected members (each living in a different retirement village). The committee, representing many years of village living experience, meets monthly to deal with matters raised by members and other matters concerning the interests of members.
SARVRA
has an excellent working relationship with officers assigned to retirement village matters in the Seniors Information Service, Office for the Ageing and other Government bodies.
SARVRA
President is a member of the Retirement Villages Advisory Committee, which meets on a regular basis. This committee includes representatives of owners of private sector villages and representatives of the 'not for profit organisation' owned villages.
SARVRA
receives no funding from Government thus allowing complete independence of view and representation.
