National Strata Management Benchmarking Survey - 2008
The National Strata Management Benchmarking Survey commissioned by Macquarie Bank has run for several years now due to increasing demand from the strata community. In 2008 the survey highlights the current issues facing the industry.
Benchmarking can help you to make informed business decisions and grow wealth by assessing your business performance and marketplace trends. Whilst the challenges are great, the rewards are there for businesses that seek best practice.
2008 saw the introduction of the first online Strata Benchmarking Survey from Macquarie Bank and with this came a change in focus to seek qualitative outcomes such as opinions on issues and opportunities facing the industry, rather than a pure financial approach. With a total of 158 principals/owners and 190 employees responding to the survey, the results were fascinating and provided a well rounded view of the industry.
As in previous surveys, the greatest challenge for most businesses is the ability to attract and retain quality staff. The report highlights incentives and management tools that can be used to assist in improving staff engagement and overall business culture.
The National Community Titles Institute has endorsed this project.

The National Community Titles Institute (NCTI) has developed in association with legal firm Andreones Pty Ltd, privacy policy documents for members’ use in liaising with their clients.
The Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 came into effect for community and strata title industry practitioners on 21 December 2002. The amendments indicate obligations in the management of client’s personal information, addressing issues such as security of information and client access.
To assist members in abiding by these new requirements, the NCTI has developed documents that will assist managers in communicating these changes to clients. These documents include:
1. Sample letter that managers can use to send to owners with the Privacy Policy
2. Detailed Privacy Policy
3. Short Form Privacy Policy (abbreviated version of Detailed Privacy Policy)
4. One-page flyer on privacy law issues in group title schemes
5. Overview paper about privacy law issues in group title schemes.
In outlining your business’ privacy procedures, you may wish to send any combination of these documents to clients.
Please note that the above documents are copyright and remain the intellectual property of National Community Titles Institute Inc. Only NCTI members are authorized to reproduce the documents as required, however the document may not be changed.
For a copy of the documents, please contact your State Affiliate body. The State Affiliate contact details can be found on this web site on the “Regions” web page.
