Unit of competency

Modification History

Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to manage a resilient strata community to ensure it can withstand or recover quickly from an incident. Incident includes accident, flood, cyclone, earthquake, fire, cyberattack (data and security), and building structural and significant services failure. The unit requires determining the regulatory and risk framework for strata community incident response, and developing and implementing a strata community incident response plan ensuring regulatory compliance and collaboration and interoperability with government disaster and emergency plans.

This unit is suitable for senior strata managers/principals who are self-directed and have substantial depth of knowledge and skills to make independent judgements in the management of strata communities. Strata managers may also be known as strata community managers, owners’ corporation managers or body corporate managers depending on the jurisdiction of operation.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to strata community management in some states and territories. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
