Lush, leafy and grand, Toorak is one of Melbourne’s oldest suburbs. The Benson residents are in easy access to everything they’ve always loved about the local area and its surrounds; from the best cafés and restaurants, excellent shopping strips, beautiful public gardens and close proximity to CBD and arts precinct. From fashionable boutiques to purveyors of fine food, everything you desire is close by in both Toorak and Hawksburn villages and neighbouring South Yarra and Armadale.
The apartments are impressive and luxurious throughout. Architectural details are finished to perfection and this exceptional standard is evident throughout. The Benson’s exceptional one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments have been crafted to include the very finest fixtures and finishes. For ease of access, total security and peace of mind, each apartment can be entered via the underground carpark with an elevator to your floor.
VMCH retirement living is special! We champion and celebrate the dignity of every person, with a community spirit that welcomes everyone. This results in friendly and vibrant communities, offering residents the unique opportunity to develop new friendships, participate in activities and enjoy a strong sense of belonging. You are invited to be social as little or as often as you desire.

We know you might have lots of questions about our retirement living communities. For more, view our Frequently Asked Question section.
Come and visit us for a tour! We’d love to show you around and introduce you to some of the residents, so you can get a better understanding of what it’s like to live at one of our retirement living communities.
We also recommend that you sign up to our database so you get updates as soon as properties are listed.
Your safety and security are of the utmost importance to us. At all our villages we have staff either one site or on call 24/7. Our staff, neighbours, 24hr call system and CCTV provide great peace of mind for our residents.
Pets are absolutely welcome at all our retirement living communities, but we do ask you seek approval of management first. We want to make sure our communities are a wonderful place for those with and without pets, so we may ask you comply with a few guidelines to ensure a harmonious environment.
VMCH does offer a fantastic range of At-Home Aged Care services. If you need a little extra help at home and in the community, then we can provide the care you need. From cleaning, to shopping and allied health support. To find out more call 1300 698 624.
