In this unlikely event, your deposit is fully refundable up to the time of settlement. You can leave the village at any time. When you exit the village, the amount of Deferred Management Fee (DMF) owed will be calculated on the length of your stay and deducted from the sale price of your apartment. You benefit from the capital growth on your apartment, and Aura pays both your own and our legal fees. For more information about our DMF, please browse our Aura Holdings communities or contact us on 07 3397 2930.
No. Stamp duty does not apply to your retirement living apartment.
Residents of a vertical living development only need to hop into the lift to access all the village’s facilities. In a traditional village, you may need to walk long distances to access facilities, problematic in severe weather condition or if a resident has mobility issues. Aura is able to build vertical villages in quality locations, while traditional, sprawling villages tend to be sited in more remote areas.

The Deferred Management Fee (DMF) is your contribution to the refurbishment and management of the village. It is charged on an “enjoy now, pay later” basis and deducted when your capital sum is repaid to you. It allows you to free up some capital now to enjoy your retirement. Learn more here.
Each village has its own character and its own unique range of community facilities. Please check your village website for a list of facilities or ask your sales consultant for a detailed brochure containing all village features.
Your guests are most welcome to use any of the community facilities in the village when accompanied by yourself or another resident. We do expect that children are supervised, and all visitors respect the facilities and residents.
Yes, every village has its own manager to help with any maintenance issues that arise inside your apartment or around the village.
Your Village Manager can help with any maintenance issues in your apartment. If any item that was in place when you moved in needs replacing this will be done for a similarly priced product without any cost to you.
No, in our villages you won’t pay for these services.
No, but we partner with quality in-home services provider, Five Good Friends, who can provide a range of care and support services to suit your needs. This may be a better option than a traditional serviced apartment as you only pay for the services you use and you may be eligible for government-funding for those services. Find out more about Five Good Friends’ services.
We have a private network that is fibre to the apartments with faster speeds compared with the National Broadband Network.
We want you to feel comfortable and happy in your new home and recognise that you may wish to tailor it to your needs at your own cost. Please contact your Village Manager who will endeavour to accommodate your needs and desires where possible, taking into consideration council regulations and conditions of the village’s development approval.
