In 1989, we opened our doors as a family business in Victoria. From the beginning we were committed to providing a local service that wasn’t available through larger strata management companies.
By filling this gap in the market we built trust with our clients and grew, welcoming our first franchisee in 1992.
Today, operating across Australia, we are owned by current and past franchisees. While we are a national business, our branches are locally owned and operated. Our clients benefit from our deep knowledge of their local area and our ability to deliver responsive and reliable strata management.
Our name, MBCM Strata Specialists, is deeply rooted in the history of our organisation. It’s a reminder of our humble beginnings over 35 years ago as a small, but ambitious, Melbourne-based family business.
We believe that every Strata scheme deserves to benefit from local management and services, which is why we launched Australian Strata Management (ASM) as the national arm of MBCM Strata Specialists. Having both ASM and MBCM allows us to provide our services and local knowledge to Strata communities across Australia.
The Vision at MBCM Strata Specialists is to be the Owners Corporation manager of choice, setting the standard for service excellence, trusted leadership, and industry innovation – empowering strata communities to thrive through education and proactive management.
Our company values underpin how we work every day
We are honest, ethical, and open in our communication. We believe strong relationships are built on trust. This means you’ll always know where your money is going, with no hidden costs for things like administration, financials, or legal guidance. We provide clear, timely updates and ensure all information is accessible and easy to understand.
We operate with fairness, empathy, and confidentiality. Every community is unique, and every owner is a valued member. Our local branch owners are part of your community, so we understand the importance of respecting individual differences while working for the collective good. This is how we help you find common ground and reduce conflict.
We do what we say and take responsibility. You need a partner you can count on, and our professional expertise is a promise to your Owners Corporation. We handle legislative and regulatory requirements with precision, ensuring your compliance is always in order. When we say we’ll do something, we do it.
We challenge the status quo and champion innovation. We believe in staying ahead of the curve in a constantly evolving industry. We were among the first in Australia to use custom-built software, and we continue to invest in technology that makes your life easier, empowering your community with secure document storage and efficient communication tools.
We deliver the highest standards in everything we do. Our commitment to excellence drives us to provide structured maintenance oversight and clear, fast response times. We are proud members of the Strata Community Association (SCA) and uphold its Code of Conduct. Our franchise-based structure gives you the personal service of a local business backed by the expertise of a national network.
Helping strata communities thrive is at the heart of what we do and that commitment goes beyond property management. We’re passionate about backing local groups and charities that make our neighbourhoods stronger, safer, and more inclusive.
Since 2020, regular donations from our combined MBCM Strata Specialists and Australian Strata Management network have exceeded $55,000 for The Smith Family and Launch Housing. Together, we’re proud to support their vital work in building brighter futures and creating supportive environments for everyone.
