What is RSL Life Care? Find out

Here are some resources to help you every step of the way.

From planning your move, donating items to charity, to embracing digital tools and sharing memories with loved ones — we’re here to make the process feel easier. 

Enlist help

Sorting through years of belongings and memories can feel like a big job — but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether it’s family, friends, or a trusted professional organiser, having support can make the process feel lighter and more meaningful.

Donate to charity

This is a great time to give back. From clothes and books to furniture and kitchenware, donating to local charities means your pre-loved items can find a new home. Lighten up your space while making a difference!

Go digital

Less paper, more peace of mind, this is a great opportunity to ‘go digital’. Scan important documents and treasured photos to store them safely in digital form. You might even want to swap your bookshelf for an e-reader or set up paperless billing before your move.

Pass on items to family

Downsizing doesn’t mean parting with what matters most. It can be the perfect time to gift special items to loved ones or return things you’ve been holding onto for others. It’s a beautiful way to share your history — and clear a little space too.

Reward yourself

Downsizing can be a big job, so don’t forget to celebrate your progress however big or small! Treat yourself to a coffee break and take a moment for yourself.

Getting ready for retirement living with RSL LifeCare

Your move into village living is more than just a change of address, it’s the beginning of a new chapter! Downsizing can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a powerful opportunity to simplify, reflect, and make space for what matters most.
