Abstract:

In Australia, educational qualifications are a prescribed requirement for licensing within various occupations and professions, and each state and territory has varying degrees of educational aims and objectives. This research paper examines the minimum standards of education and knowledge, which are imposed as a pre-requisite for the licensing of a Strata Manager.

The paper traces the historical progression which occurred during the last century to the current decade, and includes an assessment of societies changing needs of the role within this profession. In this regard, it is argued that the educational requirements during the mid 1990’s to the early 2000’s best served the needs of the consumer in comparison to these last 10 years. The discussion is complemented with data from New South Wales, mapping the educational knowledge fields and comparing this information to the duties and responsibilities of a Strata Manager.
