Review Your OC Management Contract in Melbourne Today
Our free independent strata contract review gives your Committee clarity on obligations, risks, and whether it’s time for a better OC manager.
Why Committees choose us for a strata contract review
A detailed strata contract review helps your Committee spot issues that limit control or increase costs, including:
- Lock-in auto-renewals
- Weak or vague service obligations
- Fees that escalate without transparency
- Extra charges buried in appendices
- Termination clauses that restrict Committee authority
After reviewing your contract, we give your Committee practical, easy-to-act-on guidance, including:
- What authority you currently have
- Options if your OC manager’s performance isn’t improving
- Risks, notice periods, or obligations to consider
- Whether renegotiation or changing managers is the best path forward
How we support Committees
Turn complexity into clarity
We translate contract terms into simple takeaways so your Committee knows what’s enforceable, what’s negotiable, and what needs attention.
Show where your rights and leverage sit
We outline which parts of the contract protect your Committee, where risks exist, and where you can push for better service or accountability.
Provide a realistic pathway forward
We identify whether issues can be fixed through oversight or if the contract points toward needing a new manager.
Support if a change of manager is needed
If the contract points to deeper performance issues, we guide the full transition, from running a transparent tender to managing appointment and handover with a vetted, high-performing manager.
Give your Committee confidence, not extra work
Our process is designed to support volunteer Committees. We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on making informed decisions for your building.
Frequently Asked Questions: Strata Contract Review
What is a strata contract review?
A strata contract review is an independent assessment of your OC management contract to identify risks, unfair terms, renewal traps, hidden fees, and the rights your Committee holds under the agreement.
Can your contract review show if our OC manager isn’t meeting their obligations?
Yes. By comparing service obligations in the contract with what your Committee is actually experiencing, we highlight where performance may be falling short and what your Committee can do about it.
Can a strata contract review help reduce costs for our building?
Yes. Many Victorian OC contracts contain fee escalations, duplicated charges, or unclear billing structures. Identifying these issues gives your Committee leverage to negotiate fairer terms or explore better management options.
What if our OC manager is not following the contract?
Our review helps your Committee understand the relevant clauses, what constitutes non-performance, and what steps you can take. This includes raising it formally or starting a change-manager process.
How long does the contract review take?
Usually 3–5 business days, depending on complexity.
How often should a Committee review its OC management contract?
It’s good practice to review your contract every few years, or whenever the Committee notices performance issues, fee increases, or unclear responsibilities. Early reviews help prevent long-term lock-ins or unfavourable renewal terms.
Is a strata contract review helpful before starting a tender for a new manager?
Absolutely. Understanding your current contract ensures the Committee knows its termination rights, timing, and obligations, which helps avoid disputes or delays during the handover.
