Is there still pressure for reform of caretaker contracts? Is anything currently happening?

It depends where you are.
In NSW there is legislation on the way to put building manager contracts on the same three-year limit as strata managers.
In Victoria they are thinking about doing something similar … some time … eventually … maybe.
And in Qld they’re talking about talking about it. But bear in mind that trade in caretaker contracts there runs to about $5bn a year, the official body for caretakers can get pretty feral when anyone says owners should have the right to choose who runs their buildings and the banks have a vested interest in keeping things exactly the way they are because they provide the loans so that caretakers can buy the contracts.
