Regulatory Compliance

Strata schemes operate within a strict legal framework, and keeping up with changing legislation, compliance deadlines, and governance responsibilities can be a serious challenge. That’s where the Professionals Strata Team comes in. Our Regulatory Compliance & Governance service is designed to protect your scheme from risk, uphold transparency, and support the committee in meeting all legal obligations. We stay across the fine print so you don’t have to—and we make sure your building runs the way it should: fairly, legally, and responsibly.

Up-to-Date Legislative Knowledge: Strata laws and regulations are constantly evolving. We stay up to date with relevant legislation, codes of conduct, and statutory requirements in your state or territory to ensure your scheme is always operating within the law. From changes in building safety rules to updates on strata committee obligations, we interpret the details and give you clear, practical advice on what needs to be done. Whether it’s managing a compliant Annual General Meeting (AGM), handling strata roll maintenance, or ensuring your levies are set in line with legislation, we guide you step by step.

Support for Strata Committees: Strata committees carry important responsibilities. We’re here to support them with expert guidance on how to make decisions in accordance with the law and your building’s by-laws. We help ensure that motions are drafted correctly, voting procedures are followed, and all records are properly maintained. We also educate committee members on their roles and responsibilities—reducing confusion, preventing conflicts, and promoting good governance across the board.

By-Law Management & Enforcement: By-laws are vital for maintaining order and harmony in a strata scheme—but they only work if they’re managed fairly and consistently. We assist with the review, enforcement, and updating of your scheme’s by-laws to ensure they reflect the current needs of the community and comply with legal standards. From pet approvals and renovation applications to resolving breaches or disputes, we apply the by-laws professionally and without bias—so that every owner and resident feels they are treated equally.

Mandatory Compliance Coordination: There are a number of ongoing compliance obligations for strata schemes, and missing one can lead to legal or financial consequences. We coordinate and track key items like:

• Annual Fire Safety Statements (AFSS)
• Work Health & Safety (WHS) obligations
• Building defect reporting (where applicable)
• Insurance renewals and valuations
• Capital Works Plan reviews
• Record keeping and document retention

We take care of the deadlines, coordinate with relevant professionals and keep the committee informed every step of the way.

Transparent Record keeping: Proper records are not just good practice—they’re a legal requirement. We maintain accurate, up-to-date records of all meeting minutes, financials, correspondence, insurance policies, and more. This gives your scheme full accountability and makes compliance checks, audits, or disputes easier to manage.

Ethical, Risk-Aware Governance: Good strata governance is about more than ticking boxes. It’s about running your building in a way that is fair, transparent, and aligned with the long-term interests of all owners. We help facilitate responsible financial management, conflict-of-interest disclosures, and ethical decision-making at every level. Our team approaches every scheme with a commitment to integrity. We don’t just follow the rules—we help you understand them, apply them, and make them work for your community.
