Testimonials
It shows our residents, and the community, that we’re willing to continue our education and training.
I think that’s important… to be reignited with new information all the time
Carla Upfill
Village customer service coordinator
The topics covered have been both interesting and informative. I really like the fact that I get to catch up with the other managers from our own organisation – we don’t see each other except at the DCMI days or the occasional get together our Head of RL organises
Donna Gauci
Retirement Community Manager
Since starting at DCMI I have learnt lots of valuable information to help in my role, while feeling a part of a greater community of like minded Retirement Village Managers from all over Australia.
