Editorial Markdown brief with an August 2026 access label, checked against the matching eighteen-page JLL original hosted by the Retirement Villages Association. The PDF cover says December 2025 and year ending December 2024; the headline totals, occupancy and 2048 shortfall match this brief. The former November 2025 catalogue date and 12th-edition title label are not substantiated by the checked original. The growth comparison starts in 2012, rather than spanning a decade. These corrections do not replace a bundled PDF. Big-six occupancy is not national occupancy, and the 2048 unit shortfall is modelled village-unit demand, not observed shortage or aged-care bed demand.
