Joseph began his career at MBCM Strata Specialists Brighton and Cheltenham branches as a junior strata manager and in 2024, became the owner of both branches.
With a strong foundation in property, development and management, Joseph leverages his legislative knowledge and local expertise to provide owners corporations with clear guidance, responsive service and strategic support for long term building and financial outcomes.
Being locally based allows Joseph to build strong relationships with committees and owners, coordinate with trusted local contractors, and respond quickly to issues, ensuring properties are maintained efficiently and risks are proactively managed.
He manages a diverse portfolio ranging from small three-lot subdivisions to multi-level apartment complexes of 70 lots, as well as several mixed-use and commercial properties.

For building-related emergencies affecting your unit or common property, you can contact our emergency maintenance on 1300 726 842.
Please note that The Scotia Group acts on behalf of the Owners Corporation, not individual lot owners. If the issue is private or not an insurance claim, you will be liable for the costs, with a minimum callout fee of $500.
By engaging The Scotia Group, you agree to these terms. All invoices will be sent to the Owners Corporation, and if the matter is later deemed private, reimbursement will be sought from the lot owner.
This service is for building emergencies only and The Scotia Group will ask you some qualifying questions prior to attendance.
Strata management services typically include managing administration, facilitating meetings, overseeing insurance, coordinating common property repairs and maintenance, financial management, including setting budgets, levy administration and record keeping. Managers also progress the management of complaints, guide legislative compliance and offer advice to help the owners corporations meet the broader needs of their building and community. The exact scope can be tailored to what your owners corporation needs and is reflected in the management agreement.
Fees are tailored to the size and complexity of your property. A residential block will need different support to a mixed-use or commercial development. Fee structures also vary. Some properties opt for an all-inclusive fixed fee, while others choose a lower base fee with additional charges applied only when extra services are required.
Changing strata managers usually involves reviewing your current agreement, passing a resolution at a meeting and giving the required notice to the current manager. This is then followed by a transition process that transfers records, financial information and key documents to the new manager. We can help you with this transition to ensure minimal disruption for your owners corporation.
Look for experience, responsiveness, and local knowledge. Committees value clear communication, transparent processes, and a manager who truly understands their property type and needs.
