What are the Site Fees?

Understanding the Site Fee

Typically, when living outside Lifestyle Communities, you may have many smaller costs to account for, such as a gym membership, sports club memberships, pool access, cinema visits, gardening maintenance and more. You might even have your own pool that is expensive and time consuming to maintain. While individually, these costs might seem small, roll them up and they’re eating into your monthly expenses.

In return for your Site Fee, you will have access to all these facilities, maintained for you by Lifestyle Communities.

Plus, if you’re eligible for the Age Pension or other eligible government payments, you may be entitled to Rent Assistance through the Federal Government to help support this recurring cost. 

Information applies: From 1 July 2026 to 19 September 2026*

How much does it cost?

Being transparent about the costs involved with moving into a Lifestyle Community is important, that's why we're breaking down the expenses for you. These expenses only cover the site fee and exclude other household costs such as utilities. 

Here's how it breaks down:

Under the agreement with Lifestyle Communities®, the Weekly Site Fee is payable by direct debit or Centrepay each fortnight. The Weekly Site Fee is reviewed annually on 1 July and increases are capped at CPI or 3.5%, whichever is greater.

*Lifestyle Communities reviews their fee structure on 1 July each year. Centrelink reviews the Age Pension and Rent Assistance on 20 March and 20 of September each year. For more information on rent assistance, please call Centrelink at 13 2300 or visit www.servicesaustralia.gov.au
