The Australian senior living industry is experiencing robust growth, projected to reach a market size of $6.03 billion in 2025 and maintain a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.17% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is driven by several key factors. Australia's aging population is a significant driver, with a growing number of individuals requiring assisted living, independent living, memory care, and nursing care facilities. Increased disposable incomes and a rising preference for quality senior living options, emphasizing comfort, social engagement, and specialized care, further fuel market growth. Government initiatives aimed at supporting aged care are also contributing to this upward trajectory. The industry is segmented geographically, with cities like Melbourne, Perth, and the Sunshine Coast showing strong demand, reflecting diverse population densities and regional economic conditions. Competition is intense, with both large national players like Stockland and Lend Lease, and smaller, specialized providers like Oak Tree Group and The Village vying for market share. This competitive landscape fosters innovation and improved service offerings within the sector. Despite the positive growth outlook, the sector faces certain challenges. Increasing operating costs, including staffing shortages and rising property values, pose significant constraints. Furthermore, regulatory compliance and the need to maintain high standards of care add complexity to business operations. However, the industry's consistent growth trajectory suggests that these challenges are being addressed through strategic investments in technology, efficient operational models, and innovative care delivery methods. The ongoing demand for high-quality senior living facilities, coupled with a supportive regulatory environment, positions the Australian market for continued expansion in the coming years. The diverse range of service offerings, from independent living to specialized memory care, caters to the evolving needs of the aging population, solidifying the long-term viability and growth potential of this important sector. Recent developments include: August 2023: Aware Super has invested an undisclosed amount to acquire the remaining 30% it does not own in Oak Tree Retirement Villages. This senior housing platform owns 48 complexes along Australia's Eastern seaboard., February 2023: Lendlease 'Grove' extension will deliver 45 new two- and three-bedroom independent villas with internal garage access and private covered alfresco entertaining. The project will also include a separate 124-bed residential aged care facility delivered by Arcare Aged Care, offering a continuum of care in high demand in the Ngunnawal region.. Key drivers for this market are: 4., Aging Population4.; Increased Longevity. Potential restraints include: 4., Aging Population4.; Increased Longevity. Notable trends are: Increasing Senior Population and Life Expectancy driving the market.

Project background:

Australian cultural and creative activity: A population and hotspot analysis is an Australian Research Council Linkage project (LP160101724) being undertaken by QUT and the University of Newcastle, in partnership with Arts Queensland, Create NSW, Creative Victoria, Arts South Australia and the Western Australian Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.

This comprehensive project aims to grasp the contemporary dynamics of cultural and creative activity in Australia. It brings together population-level and comparative quantitative and qualitative analyses of local cultural and creative activity. The project will paint a complete national picture, while also exploring the factors that are producing local and regional creative hotspots.

Creative hotspots for study were selected in consultation with state research partners:

Queensland – Cairns, Sunshine Coast + Noosa, Gold Coast, Central West Queensland
New South Wales – Coffs Harbour, Marrickville, Wollongong, Albury
Victoria – Geelong + Surf Coast, Ballarat, Bendigo, Wodonga
Western Australia – Geraldton, Fremantle, Busselton, Albany + Denmark
South Australia – to be confirmed shortly

Statistical summaries drawn from a diverse range of data sources including the Australian Census, the Australian Business Register, IP Australia registration data, infrastructure availability lists and creative grants and rights payments as well as our fieldwork, inform hotspot reports.

The red-legged pademelon (Thylogale stigmatica), is a small native macropod (2.5-9 kg), found on the north/ eastern coast of Australia and in New Guinea. Preferring tropical and subtropical rainforest habitats, wet sclerophyll forest and occasionally deciduous vine thickets. Red-legged pademelons have a varied diet consisting of fruits, leaves, bark, fungus and insects. Under the IUCN pademelons are listed as ?least concern? although population numbers are decreasing (IUCN). Mary Cairncross is an isolated remnant reserve and this survey aims to build our understanding of population numbers and ensure we are aware of declines in the local population.
