Your strata manager manages the scheme. C6 helps your committee govern it.
C6 gives volunteer strata committees independent support, systems and practical guidance to understand their obligations, identify risks, control costs, oversee their strata manager and make better-informed decisions.
C6 Governance & Compliance Health Check
- Governance & compliance gaps
- Missing evidence & records
- Strata manager oversight
- Cost & contract exposure
- Committee capability
- Priority actions
Volunteer committee. Professional responsibilities.
Serving on a strata committee can mean overseeing significant assets, expenditure, compliance obligations, maintenance decisions, contracts and disputes — often without professional governance systems of your own.
Your strata manager can administer the scheme. But the committee still needs to understand what is happening, make informed decisions and know whether important actions have actually been completed.
C6 provides that independent committee-side capability.
What C6 helps the committee answer
Don't assume. Check.
The C6 Governance & Compliance Health Check turns scattered records and assumptions into a clear, evidence-based picture of your scheme's governance position.

Six pillars of better strata governance
Every C6 assessment and recommendation maps back to six practical governance controls.
From uncertainty to control
Use C6 once — or keep C6 beside your committee throughout the year.
Health Check
Where are we exposed?
Governance Remediation
What needs fixing?
Governance Office
How do we keep it under control?
Dispute & NCAT Support
What happens when an issue escalates?
Keep your strata manager. Improve how you manage them.
C6 does not replace your strata manager. We help the committee become a better client of its strata manager — with clearer instructions, better visibility and stronger follow-through.
- Understand the management agreement and delegations
- Track committee instructions and outstanding actions
- Monitor contract renewals, quotes and additional charges
- Maintain disclosure and conflict visibility
- Escalate unresolved matters with a clear evidence trail
C6 works for the Owners Corporation — not the strata management company.
C6 Governance Office
For committees that want ongoing visibility rather than another one-off report, the Governance Office provides a practical control layer throughout the year.
Monitor
Compliance calendar, contracts, actions, decisions, manager instructions and upcoming obligations.
Prepare
AGM readiness, committee handover, new member onboarding, capital works and major decision preparation.
Review
Quarterly governance reviews, manager performance, evidence completeness and unresolved risk.
C6 Committee Support Desk
When your committee doesn't know what to do next — Ask C6.
Typical questions
- Our strata manager hasn't responded. What should we do?
- We've discovered water ingress. Who needs to act?
- Can the committee make this decision?
- We're being asked to approve a major contract. What should we check?
- An owner is threatening NCAT. What happens next?
TRIAGE → EVIDENCE → DECIDE → ACT → TRACK → ESCALATE
The Support Desk is planned for staged introduction after the initial C6 launch. Early participating schemes will help C6 validate the highest-value workflows before automation.
Committee-side support, without taking over the committee.
C6 is designed to improve the committee's governance capability — not replace its decision-making role.
Evidence-based
Recommendations are anchored to the documents, records and information available to the committee.
Independent perspective
C6 supports the Owners Corporation and committee rather than acting as the strata management company.
Practical escalation
Where specialist legal, engineering, insurance or other advice is required, C6 helps identify the need and prepare the issue for escalation.
Strata governance is changing
NSW strata reforms are progressively increasing expectations around transparency, committee capability, maintenance, capital planning, records and accountability.
Committee capability
NSW Fair Trading has announced annual committee training requirements expected to launch later in 2026.
Manager transparency
Recent reforms have strengthened strata manager disclosure obligations around relationships, commissions and potential conflicts.
Capital & maintenance governance
Recent reforms include standard forms for 10-year capital works plans and stronger repair and maintenance oversight.
C6 does not provide legal advice. Legislative information should be checked against current NSW Government guidance and the applicable legislation.
Myth vs reality
What committees often assume
The governance reality
C6 turns assumptions into evidence.
Before you start
Who can request a C6 Health Check?
The service is designed for NSW Owners Corporations and strata committees. A committee may wish to obtain appropriate internal approval before engaging C6, depending on the scheme's delegations and expenditure authority.
Do we need every document before we start?
No. The Health Check is evidence-based, and missing documents are themselves relevant to governance visibility. Provide what is available and identify anything that cannot currently be located.
Does our strata manager need to participate?
Not necessarily. The initial review can be completed from information supplied by the committee. If clarification or additional evidence is required, C6 can identify what should be requested from the strata manager or another party.
Is C6 replacing our strata manager?
No. C6 is positioned as independent committee-side governance support. The strata manager may continue to administer the scheme while C6 helps the committee understand, monitor and govern its responsibilities.
What happens after the Health Check?
The committee can implement the recommendations itself, engage its strata manager or specialists, or ask C6 to assist with remediation, governance controls, manager interface, training or dispute preparation.
Does C6 provide legal advice or guaranteed compliance?
No. C6 provides governance support and evidence-based assessment of the information available. Legal interpretation, formal legal advice and specialist technical certification should be obtained from appropriately qualified professionals where required.
