At Principle Living, we believe the retirement years should be empowering, purposeful and centred on what matters most to people.  

It’s that belief that sits at the core of MyRetirement – a personalised support service designed to help our residents through each stage of their downsizing and retirement journey.

Downsizing is an exciting process but also a significant life change. For many, the transition involves letting go of a long-term family home, navigating practical decisions and starting an exciting new chapter. MyRetirement is a resident-first support system that makes this process easier and provides downsizers with the confidence they need to embrace the experience.

The MyRetirement service starts well before residents arrive at their new community. Whether it’s selling a long-cherished family home, managing decluttering and packing, or simply fielding questions about downsizing, MyRetirement provides trusted advice and support at every step.  

MyRetirement includes a Move-In Assistance service that helps plan and coordinate the downsize and move itself, from arranging professional support for packing, labelling and decluttering to complimentary move-in assistance, such as connecting appliances and setting up services.  

Our Care Navigation service ensures residents are supported should their needs evolve over time. It explains how the home care system works, provides complimentary needs assessments with expert care partners, and assists with navigating government funding streams to access appropriate care support.  

Wellbeing Co-ordination is another pillar of MyRetirement. Residents can stay active and engaged through individual wellness programs, group classes, village gym access, nutritional support, and connection with social activities that bring residents together around common interests.  

Finally, the Concierge Service means everyday life feels easier and more connected. Residents can access on-call assistance from the village team to find trusted local services, help with housekeeping or technology support, and connect with community groups that enrich their lives.

Principle Living Operations Manager David Kelly says MyRetirement is a commitment to supporting each resident’s unique life journey.

“We created this program to meet a wide range of resident needs and provide the reassurance that help and care are part of everyday living with Principle Living,” he said.

“From the moment someone starts thinking about downsizing, we’re there to guide them through a process that might otherwise feel a little overwhelming.

“MyRetirement reflects our belief that great retirement living isn’t just about providing quality homes – it’s about delivering thoughtful, ongoing support that helps residents live well every day.”
