Sir Humphrey I think you may be referring to SCA (Strata Community Australia) … from what I was told at the college … SCA is no longer as relevant in the industry as they once were.
That’s a very big call. For all the issues I have with SCA (not least that their Queensland chapter supports the institutional corruption of pre-sales of management rights) I think they are more relevant than they have ever been. The difference is that now there are other voices – like the Owners Corporation Network – where there was none before.
Your biggest challenge will be getting the professional indemnity required to set up a responsible business on your own. But SCA will provide you with a lot of support in terms of contracts and professional training. I wouldn’t dismiss them on the strength of what a college lecturer said.
SCA aren’t as exclusively relevant to strata owners as they once were, but they are the voice of the industry and you can bet Fair Trading has them on speed dial.
