Our Team

Chiou See Anderson- Managing Director

With more than 20 years of management experience Chiou See, Elements' Managing Director, is the creative mind and the driving force behind Elements Third Age Living @ Springwood.

Chiou See is experienced in industries as diverse as aviation, mining, hospitality, retailing, vocation education and property investment.

In May 2006, she was awarded a PhD scholarship at Bond University, where she is researching the impact of the built environment on successful ageing.

Chiou See is also a member of a national team of university researchers funded by the Australian Research Council and 26 senior living industry sponsors evaluating the “Economic, environmental and social-psychological evaluation of independent senior living alternatives in Australia”. This research is in line with Australia’s national research priority around the increasing ageing population on how the nation should age well and age productively whilst strengthening Australia’s social and economic fabric.

Chiou See recently joined the National Council of Women as spokesperson for ageing on the panel.

She has combined her significant management expertise with her learned knowledge to create a retirement community that embraces and celebrates the third age. She is mother to Christopher, Jessica and Olivia.

Our Community

Family is one of the key ingredients for a good life. Whether it's our blood relatives or our oldest and closest friends, almost all of us have that vital group of people that sustains us through good times and bad. It's no different at Elements Third Age Living@Springwood.

We're building a community that will be, in every sense, a family. The common areas at Elements have been designed to maximise social interaction among residents and their guests, and to foster a true spirit of community.

We're also reaching out to our neighbours - forging strategic ties with local organisations such as John Paul College, the Springwood Bowls Club and local service providers. Over time these partnerships will grow in number and in meaning, helping to ensure Elements is a vibrant and active participant in its local community.

With public transport, local amenities, council libraries, and shopping centres all nearby, residents of Elements will have every opportunity to develop their own links with the local community. To be part of a true family.
