A Strata Manager attends to the daily operations of a strata property. You’ll need to make sure everything is running smoothly from collection of strata fees to organising any necessary repairs and maintenance. You may have more than one property to look after and you might liaise with residents, tradespeople and industry stakeholders on both large and small projects. A Strata Manager also looks after the financial and administrative aspects of a strata property and makes sure all property regulations are met.
Good time management and organisational skills are crucial for a Strata Manager. You’ll often be working on many tasks at once so you’ll need to be a multi-tasker. Strata Managers need excellent communication skills and you’ll have to be a good negotiator. Problem solving skills are also essential as you sort out the numerous strata issues that come your way each day.
In Australia, a full time Strata Manager generally earns $1,350 per week ($70,200 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
There are currently 34,500 people working in property management in Australia and many of these are hired as Strata Managers. The number of people in this industry has increased over the last five years. Strata Managers work in all regions of Australia, particularly in larger towns and cities where strata properties are common.
