A new and enhanced model for strata management education qualifications has been proposed for Western Australia.
After extensive industry consultation over many years, and an initial public consultation in November 2022, the new model was created to elevate professional knowledge and experience in WA’s strata management industry.
This uplift in standards is expected to deliver significant benefits to statewide strata owners and tenants once in place.

WA’s newly proposed educational model for strata managers aims to:
- Broaden educational qualifications and introduce experience requirements for professional strata managers.
- Establish new career pathways and redefine certain roles and responsibilities to better align with industry needs.
- Enhance strata management service delivery to WA strata owners and tenants.
- Address the effects of national changes to the Certificate IV in Strata Community Management on Western Australia’s industry.
Landgate has been in close consultation with WA’s strata management industry since early 2022 to shape these amendments and create a better-fit educational model.
We are particularly appreciative of the considerable and ongoing contributions made by both the Strata Community Association of WA (SCA (WA)) and REIWA.
“Strata Community Association WA (SCA (WA)) proudly supports Landgate in the upcoming regulation amendments to the strata manager educational model and increasing the professionalism of the strata industry. We appreciate the opportunity to assist in shaping these amendments, and the positive outcome from collaborative industry consultation”.

“REIWA believes it is essential that industry opinion is sought when changes affecting industry are under review. We have been actively involved in the consultation process for the regulation amendments to the strata education model and strongly support the changes. The education requirements have been tailored to industry practice and provide clear direction for industry in terms of training requirements”.
