Ex-Services VILLAGE
Ballina
“
For the
Not-So-Retiring
We have lived at the Village for nearly
7 years. We are very thankful that we have
made the decision to come to Ex-Services
Ballina – for the terrific environment, the
great people – and for the place having size
and scope of services that can provide for
my wife and I in our later years.
You have arrived at a place of peace and
elegance, of camaraderie and caring.
Ex-Services Ballina is situated at Ballina
on the North Coast. Established 60 years
ago, the Village is a picturesque oasis.
Situated on the beautiful river in Central
Ballina, with water views, the Village is a
special place of natural beauty and unique
character in a fantastic setting.
Exercise your body with fishing or
swimming or your mind with a stimulating
course from the university of the third age.
Enjoy a waterside stroll under the Norfolk
Pines along the Remembrance Walk. Stroll
through colourful gardens or enjoy a light
breeze and a cooling drink on your balcony.
Share a laugh or a tear over a classic film
or an evening of casual conversation in a
cozy café.

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
