What sets SCA Strata Management Professionals apart is their education, expertise & experience

For over 30 years, SCA (WA) has been at the forefront of strata sector advocacy and education. Representing strata managers, owners, and service providers, the association has worked tirelessly to professionalise the sector. It has implemented a self-regulation model, introduced educational standards, and advocated for greater accountability.

SCA (WA) members are held to the highest standards of education, expertise, and experience, ensuring that strata communities are managed with professionalism and care. This commitment is what sets SCA (WA) members apart in a largely unregulated sector.

In 2024, the estimated value of property under strata title was approximately $1.4 trillion.
