Further information is available in the Exemption certificates under section 77C of the Retirement Villages Act - Guidelines for applicants

Who can apply for an exemption certificate?

An exemption certificate may be sought by prohibited persons who are already involved in administering a particular village and by persons who propose to become involved in administering a village after the provisions commence.

Exemption certificates may be granted by the Commissioner subject to conditions and limitations specified in the certificate and may be revoked by written notice. If a person is granted an exemption certificate and subsequently becomes a person to whom section 76 further applies, by the occurrence of a bankruptcy, conviction, disqualification, winding up or other matter relevant to section 76, the exemption certificate will be immediately cancelled

How do I apply for an exemption certificate?

If you wish to apply for an exemption certificate, you must:

• complete and sign the form
• attach all documents required by the form (e.g. evidence of your duties and responsibilities in relation to the retirement village);
• provide details of reasons for seeking exemption;
• Provide a National Police check (if required); and 
• pay the application fee (please note the fee is non-refundable)

Your application cannot be assessed unless ALL sections are completed and ALL information is provided.
