The operator of a retirement village must complete a premises condition report not more than 10 business days after a person enters into occupation of a residence [Retirement Villages Act 2016 (SA) s 23]. This report must provide detailed information about the condition of the fixtures, fittings and furnishings in the residence and be signed by both the operator (or someone on their behalf) and the resident [see s 23(3)].
Changes to the requirement to provide a premises condition report under the Retirement Villages Act 2016 (SA) will come into effect on 2 February 2026. For more information about these and other changes, visit the Office for Ageing Well website. This page will be updated from 2 February 2026.
