Retirement living, reimagined

Diment marks a bold new chapter for IRT’s first seniors’ living community, built more than 50 years ago in the heart of Wollongong.

Formerly known as Diment Towers, the community is being thoughtfully revitalised to honour the legacy of Dr Max Diment, one of IRT’s founders, while creating a vibrant, future-focused, and cost-accessible place to live that responds to the evolving needs of older Australians.

How it all began

Dr Max Diment, IRT’s pioneer, envisioned communities where seniors could enjoy the best quality of life. In 1969, Wollongong City Council donated land on Staff Street for IRT’s first community, the development of IRT Diment Towers was approved, and the company was officially incorporated later that year.

In 1971, IRT Diment Towers opened as Wollongong’s first high-rise community for seniors, offering both independent living for over 55s plus aged care services.
