The owners corporation looks after common property like roofs, external walls, shared plumbing, lifts and gardens. Anything inside your own lot is on you. Sounds simple, but the in-between bits are where most disputes start, and where a switched-on manager saves your building real money and grief. The trick is knowing the line before something breaks, not after.

Not sure which side your repair sits on? That's exactly what we sort out.

It isn't. Switching takes three steps: raise a motion to change managers at your AGM or committee meeting, hold a vote or postal ballot with the required majority, then follow the termination process in your current agreement.

On the other side is a building that runs smoothly and a committee that finally feels supported. Comment SWITCH and we'll send you a few quick questions to get you a no-obligation quote.

It looks like never having to wonder what's happening with your building.

You get clear updates before you have to ask. Questions answered in days, not weeks. And a simple way to see where every job is up to.

In Victoria, keeping owners informed is a core part of good strata management. It's what turns a owners corporation from a mystery into a team.

Here's the tip: the best sign of a well-run building is that things feel calm and clear. You always know who's doing what, and by when.

That's the standard we hold in Victoria. We make living better together.

Fast answers when you need them. A maintenance schedule that keeps the building looking cared for. Contractors who show up and do the job right. Meetings that start and finish on time. A committee that feels supported, not swamped.

Save this and share it with your committee.

How often do Essential Safety Measures need to be serviced?

The required maintenance frequencies are determined by:
- The Occupancy Permit (where available)
- The Building Regulations 2018
- Australian Standard AS 1851-2012 – Routine service of fire protection systems and equipment
- Five, Ten and 25 year testing for certain systems

Of these, AS 1851-2012 is the primary standard used across Australia and specifies the inspection, testing, and maintenance intervals for fire safety systems.

Typical service intervals include:

- Monthly inspections
- Six-monthly servicing
- Annual servicing

These scheduled intervals ensure that systems remain operational, compliant and capable of protecting occupants throughout the building life cycle.
