    Is there a govt body I can complain to?

    In Victoria, the government body you can contact about Owners Corporations matters is Consumer Affairs Victoria.    https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/

    That said, OC fees being raised for a “sinking fund” (called a Maintenance Fund in Victoria) should be detailed in the OC’s Annual Budget.  A Proposed Annual Budget should be supplied to each lot owner along with the Notice of Annual General Meeting.  That budget then needs to be approved by the lot owners at the AGM.
