I think you have to separate this from all the strata aspects and treat it the same as if you were neighbours in adjoining houses.
Strata law neither allows this kind of behaviour nor protects you from it. This is a civil (and possibly criminal) matter. So, the first thing may be to talk to a lawyer to examine your options.
Generally speaking, efamation is expensive and very difficult to prove. More important is the intent behind the statements and that is clearly to make your life difficult.
Verbal abuse is a form of assault so the first thing may be to take an apprehended violence (personal) order against this person telling them stop stop abusing you directly or indirectly through what they say or write to other people.
Then you might consider writing to all the owners in the building telling them that you have been subjected to unwarranted and unacceptable verbal and written assaults and entirely baseless accusations by one person (without naming them) and asking them to retain the letters as evidence for any future legal action.
And talk to the police. They are used to assault perpetrators claiming they were the ones assaulted. It comes down to “he said, she said” but they are not naive in this regard.
