For the
Not-So-Retiring
First, there is the ideal location in a major
centre that only a city like Canberra can
offer. Then there is the peaceful and serene
setting. Open your front door and step
out into a community that exemplifies
everything you expect from independent
living. A community where neighbours
become friends. Where stories are shared
over coffee. Where you can participate in
various groups. This setting, makes RSL
LifeCare’s Coral Park a great place for the
not-so-retiring.
Choose from spacious two bedroom
residences (27 in total) that offer a perfect
complement for carefree, independent
living. Participate in your choice of inviting
programs and events.
The Village offers a lifestyle based on
security and peace of mind. If the time
comes for additional care, we can provide
LifeCare @ Home services. We aim to
assist all residents to maintain as much
independence as possible. We also
have on-site our 136-bed residential
care service, Bill McKenzie Gardens.
Coral Park provides 24/7 staff and
emergency call service, friendly community
room for functions and family occasions,
billiards room, workshop, hair salon, library
and our comprehensive recreation and
activities calendar including morning teas,
walking club, exercise classes and much
more. All residents have access to our bus
service with frequent trips to shops and
local points of interest.

Comments from our Residents
“It’s a very nice atmosphere. Lovely people
live here. You don’t have to be involved in
anything if you don’t want to – you can
just enjoy yourself quietly.”
“I like the open spaces…
no maintenance too!”
“We were happy where we were living but it
had become very busy, very noisy, and we’re
pleased to now be somewhere where it is
quiet and not too far from anywhere.”
“If someone has a problem, for example if
they are sick, we make sure there is someone
looking after their place, looking after the
mail, all the things they worry about.”
“Best move my wife and I ever made.
Matter of fact, we should have moved
here ten years ago.“

Our History
RSL LifeCare is a charitable organisation
that was formed in 1911 to provide care
and service to war veterans. Services were
initially provided at Bare Island, Botany
Bay, until moving to Narrabeen in 1939.
From small beginnings providing care and
service to just a handful of war veterans,
the organisation has grown to be one of the
largest senior living services in Australia.
Caring for 5,500 people across Independent
Living, Community Care, Assisted Living,
Dementia and Nursing Home, we have
developed an extensive range of services that
fosters independence and provides social,
clinical, emotional and spiritual support.
Despite our growth and the passage of time,
RSL LifeCare remains true to its original aim
and mission – to provide a home of peace and
security to senior Australians.
