Providing safe and affordable living for older Victorians since 1869.
The Old Colonists’ Association of Victoria is a leading not-for-profit retirement village provider offering a continuum of care from independent living, assisted living and aged care in Victoria. Our four villages in Berwick, Euroa, North Fitzroy and St Helena are home to 500 older Victorians in need.
We were established by Victorian founding fathers including George Selth Coppin, a Member of Parliament and philanthropist. The association’s first village was located in Rushall Park, North Fitzroy after the Government of Victoria gifted an acreage of land.
Our Vision 2020 draws on OCAV’s proven track record in developing practical and effective solutions, whether it is affordable housing, co-designed programs with its residents, or research into new ways of providing support.
We have DGR status and donations over $2 are fully tax-deductible.
OCAV is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission.
