SCA leads development of National Code of Ethics for the strata sector

THE Strata Community Association (SCA), the peak body for strata in Australia and New Zealand, is leading a sector-wide initiative to establish a National Code of Ethics. This key priority of SCA’s 2024 to 2026 Strategic Plan aims to deliver a unified, enforceable framework that strengthens ethical standards and supports the ongoing evolution of the industry. Developed in partnership with members from all States and Territories across Australia as well as members in New Zealand, the Code of Ethics will underpin best practice across governance, professional conduct, and community engagement. It will be accompanied by a suite of practical tools, including conflict of interest guidelines, new training programs, a compliance structure and educational resources for lot owners. “This code is about strengthening the profession we believe in: one that deserves community trust and professional recognition,” CEO of SCA Australasia, Alisha Fisher said. “It is built on evidence, not assumption, and it will be enforceable, not just aspirational.” SCA has engaged independent consultants Centium Pty Ltd to lead the review, ensuring the initiative is grounded in rigorous research and benchmarked against national and international standards. The process includes targeted engagement with strata managers, business owners, service providers, lot owners and regulators. The draft code will be circulated to state and national boards, with training and governance tools to follow by mid-year. SCA is calling on all industry stakeholders to participate in this milestone reform, which marks a major step toward a more ethical, transparent and accountable strata profession.
