Chris established DocomeMonday Media in 2005. It is now Australia’s leading retirement living and aged care media group.
Chris Baynes is a a regular writer, speaker and radio commentator on the retirement and ageing sector.
He created villages.com.au in 2005 after a 20-year career in media and real estate.

Chris quickly developed a passion for the retirement sector and (after a failed attempt at retiring himself) quickly became a leader, influencer and key commentator for the sector.
Each year villages.com.au assists over 987,000 people make a better decision for a better retirement. Chris’s goal is to provide retirees and their families with everything they need to be able to make the best choices for their future.
