Activities in ACT
Strata Community Association is committed to providing our members across ACT the education they need to continue the growth and improvement of their staff and businesses.
We have a developed a dedicated online education platform that has webinars and resources on a myriad of topics that will ensure that our members do not miss out on critical CPD training during this period.
