One Fell Swoop - Signing a residents contract

New Victorian Retirement Living regulations will change how resident contracts are structured and documented. From 1 May 2026, all retirement living operators must be compliant with the new standards. Operators will need to review and, in many cases, update their contracts to comply.

One Fell Swoop Advisory works with retirement living operators to evaluate and adjust contract structures without eroding business value or cash flow. We assess your existing contracts and design compliant, resident friendly alternatives that help maximise value.

Working alongside your legal team (who handle the drafting), we focus on the commercial term. This ensures your agreements remain compliant, commercially sustainable and attractive to future buyers, with a clear and compelling value proposition.

“The operators who treat this as a strategic reset rather than a regulatory hurdle will be in the strongest position, said National Advisory Director, Liam Carroll. “The right contract structure can support compliance, resident transparency and business value at the same time. At One Fell Swoop Advisory, we help operators review their existing contracts and reshape the commercial terms so they meet the new standards without compromising business performance.”

While you’re updating resident contracts, we can also run a health check on:

  • Unit pricing
  • Competitive positioning
  • Value capture opportunities
