All Strata Managers in Western Australia

Do strata managers in Western Australia need a licence?

WA does not have a dedicated strata manager licensing register, but strata managers must hold Real Estate and Business Agents Act 1978 (REBA) registration or work under a licensed real estate agency. Licences are searchable via the LGIRS online tool. All managers must operate within the Strata Titles Act 1985 framework, which sets out their duties on finances, records, meetings, and dispute resolution. SCA WA membership is voluntary but signals commitment to professional standards.

What is a strata company in Western Australia?

In WA, "strata company" is the legal entity that owns and manages common property — equivalent to a "body corporate" in Queensland or an "owners corporation" in Victoria. The elected governing body is called the "council" (not committee). The 2018 Strata Titles Amendment Act (commenced May 2020) also introduced community titles for large layered developments. Understanding WA-specific terminology is a hallmark of experienced local strata managers.

How does our council change strata managers in WA?

Review your existing management contract for notice period (typically 30–90 days) and termination conditions. The strata company passes a resolution at a general meeting to appoint a new manager. Get competing proposals from two or three managers before your AGM so the council is ready to vote on the replacement appointment at the same meeting.

How is this data collected and updated?

Manager names come from the SCA WA directory and Google Maps data. Google ratings and contact details are cross-referenced against each manager's Google Business listing by name and address. Website enrichment (year established, specialisms, manager model) is sourced from each manager's public website and synthesised by AI. No paid placements affect rankings or profile content.
