Common Questions

Everything About Strata / Body Corporate Complaint

What if my strata committee ignores the complaint?

Your next step is usually mediation through your state tribunal — NCAT (NSW), QCAT (QLD), VCAT (VIC), SAT (WA). Most strata disputes must go through mediation before a tribunal will hear them. Our complaint letter creates the paper trail you'll need.

Which strata Act applies to me?

Depends on your state. NSW: Strata Schemes Management Act 2015. QLD: Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997. VIC: Owners Corporations Act 2006. WA: Strata Titles Act 1985. Our wizard picks the right one based on your address.

Can I complain about other owners?

Yes — but the complaint goes to the strata committee or owners corporation, not the other owner directly. The committee then enforces the by-laws against the offending lot owner.

What if the issue is with the strata manager themselves?

Your complaint goes to the committee or owners corporation, who employs the strata manager. If the committee is unresponsive, you can escalate to your state's strata authority or tribunal.

Do I need to attend a strata meeting first?

Not always — but it helps. Most committees expect you to raise the issue informally first. Our letter can reference any prior attempts you've made (emails, in-person, AGM motions).
