Why did we do this? 

At Stratarama, transparency has always been one of our core values. In 2024, we became the only business in South Australia to achieve SCA’s Strata Management Practice Standard (SMPS) Certification—something we’re incredibly proud of. We invest heavily in the professional development of our team through both SCA programs and our own internal training, and we believe that sharing some of this knowledge is part of our responsibility to the broader industry.

The intention behind this event wasn’t to teach Property Managers how to “do strata,” nor to position ourselves as lecturers. Even with formal training, strata management is something that only truly makes sense once you’re in the role day‑to‑day. Instead, our aim is simple: to remove some of the unknowns. Just as we’ve done through our explainer videos on our socials, our involvement in first‑home‑buyer seminars, and our speaking engagements with the conveyancing industry, we want to offer & build clarity. 

When we understand the context behind each other’s processes, the frustrations that arise between PM’s and SM’s can ease significantly

By offering insight into how strata and community titles operate behind the scenes, we hope to make life easier not only for ourselves, but for Property Managers, Real Estate Agents, Conveyancers, and most importantly; our shared clients. Whether someone is a first‑time strata owner or a long‑standing committee member, the more we all understand, the more effectively we can collaborate, respect each other’s roles, and deliver better outcomes together.
