Smarter Communities is a family-owned business with a long established history in property and strata title management dating back to 1978.
With more than four decades of evolving strata knowledge and expertise, Smarter Communities is now one of the largest strata management companies in Australia after successful integrations of leading local strata companies.
The Smarter Communities group now comprises five state-leading strata management companies; Adelaide Strata and Community Management (SA), Challenge Strata Management (QLD), Ernst Body Corporate Management (QLD), Strata Title Management (NSW & QLD), and Victoria Body Corporate Services (VIC).
Delivering Smart Solutions
The Smarter Communities group, collectively, are united by one corporate vision; to deliver smart solutions to create a better lifestyle for people living and invested in communities.
Our ultimate goal is to increase the value of our customers’ property investments, in a sustainable way, by providing greater access to quality information and empowering them to make smarter decisions about their community. To achieve our vision and reinforcing everything we do across all levels of our business are our four core values.
40+ Years of Industry Longevity
It’s been estimated that nine per cent of the Australian population currently live in strata titled homes throughout the country.
Our ambition is not to be the largest strata management company in Australia, but to deliver the best strata management experience to strata residents and be recognised as the employer of choice – the forefront of service innovation – to the strata industry.
Our strata companies are ranked amongst the top of Australia’s Strata & Property Management Services category on independent review site ProductReview.com.au
Our smarter journey path has been evolving for decades and is both internally and externally focused. As a business we have tested our capabilities to constantly adapt to change and respond to challenges that appear along our path.
The 2020 covid-19 pandemic saw the group of companies respond quickly to urgent, panicked client needs and successfully adjust to the stringent restrictions placed upon everyone.
Our ongoing investment in innovative technology and solutions have proven beneficial in delivering service excellence to our staff and clients.

Our self-managed BC engaged VBCS last year and they have proven to be personable, professional and keen to get the job done. Our Community Manager deals with any issues very quickly and communicates appropriately. Our BC has made the right decision.
