THE State Government has released the results of a review into the laws governing retirement villages in WA and is seeking public comment on the recommendations over the next two months.

The major recommendations made by the reference group include the removal of the dual regulation that occurs in retirement villages that also provide Commonwealth-funded residential aged care facilities.

It also has addressed the provision of financial details for residents and the disclosure of the settlement entitlements that can be expected upon the termination of a residency.

A draft fair code of practice has been developed to take into account some of these recommendations.
