Welcome to WARVRA

The Voice of Retirement Village Residents

WARVRA was formed in 1991 to provide a voice for the residents of retirement villages in Western Australia. It is a non-profit, incorporated body without party political or religious affiliation, run by a committee of volunteers elected by its members. In recent years the growth of retirement villages has been extraordinary and it has become apparent that the residents of retirement villages, and also prospective residents, need somewhere to go where they can obtain reliable information and assistance.

WARVRA is the Western Australian Retirement Villages Residents Association Inc
