Our People
Directors Financial Management Administrative Staff
Our team continues to grow in line with the growing demand for the company's services.
Strata Care Australia has a policy of matching resources to the needs of individual clients. We do not take on the administration of a scheme until we are confident we have all the appropriate resources in place. A nominated body corporate manager would provide you with a point of contact, and have the support systems and resources to service your business from day one.
Here we introduce our people to indicate the depth of our team's experience and expertise (and to put faces to the names of people who would be helping to administer affairs of body corporate).
