Premium ongoing guidance & support
Retirement Transition Support Package
A more personalised support option for individuals and families who want independent guidance throughout the retirement living decision-making process — not just a single conversation.
There is no payment at the enquiry stage. Dawn will talk with you first so you can both decide whether this level of support is the right fit.
Who it's for
- You have moved past general research and are actively comparing villages.
- There are several decisions ahead and you would like someone independent alongside you.
- Family members are involved and you'd like everyone included in the same conversations.
- You have village visits and inspections coming up and want to feel prepared.
- You expect questions to keep arising over the coming weeks, not just once.
How it differs from a Clarity Session
The Retirement Living Clarity Session is a single 90-minute conversation, from $500. It's designed to give you a clear understanding of your options and practical next steps, and for many people that's all they need.
Transition Support begins with the same 90-minute consultation, and then continues alongside you — with up to three follow-up consultations, direct email support and ongoing guidance over a 30-day period as decisions unfold. It is the right choice when you expect questions to keep coming up.
There is no obligation to move from a Clarity Session to Transition Support. Many people book a Clarity Session and go no further.
What's included
- Initial 90-minute consultation
- Family participation welcome throughout the process
- Retirement living options and comparison discussions
- Lifestyle and future care considerations
- Key questions to ask when assessing villages
- General guidance around retirement living processes and next steps
- Independent sounding-board support during decision-making
- Emotional and family transition support
- Assistance preparing for village visits and inspections
- “What to look for” guidance during the selection process
- Up to 3 follow-up consultations (phone or Zoom)
- Ongoing support over 30 days
- Follow-up summary emails after consultations
- Direct email support during the support period
Support is tailored to your circumstances. How the consultations and follow-ups are used depends entirely on what you and your family need at each stage.
What Dawn can and cannot do
Dawn is independent. She is not affiliated with any retirement village or operator, does not refer to particular villages, and receives no payment from them. Her role is to help you understand your options and feel prepared.
Transition Support does not include legal, financial, medical or aged care advice, and does not replace those professionals. Where specialist advice is needed — such as a solicitor reviewing a contract, or a financial adviser reviewing your position — Dawn will say so, and help you prepare the questions to ask.
The decision always remains yours and your family's.
