Strata Management Practice Standard
Strata Community Association (SCA) has developed a Strata Management Practice Standard (SMPS), which is offered to SCA members as an opportunity to further their professional standing in the strata management industry.
The SMPS is a voluntary practice standard for strata community management businesses, in relation to their own internal procedures as well as contractual relationships with strata communities.
Through an independent audited process, the SMPS recognises businesses that have developed and adhered to documented internal processes, which are implemented to improve both client satisfaction and internal business processes.

Other procedures
How to get started?
Download the SMPS Implementation Guideline to identify all the documentation required before you submit your application.
Your workplace will need to prepare a range of policies and procedures. Depending on your current documentation this may take your business 3-12 months. SCA is working on templates to assist you in this process.
Applications are open.
Following your application you will be contacted via SCA National to view your checklist and provide an invoice for the Application and Stage 1.
For Stage 2, should all documentation not be prepared ready for the audit, this may then increase the fee to the Auditor so we recommend you finalise all your information prior to submission.
