NEW MANDATORY EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

The Owners Corporations (Education) Regulations 2026, introduced by the Victorian Government in May 2026, establish mandatory education and continuing professional development (CPD) requirements for owners corporation managers registered as individuals and Officers in Effective Control (OIECs) of owners corporation management companies.

Developed following consultation with industry stakeholders, including SCA (Vic), the reforms are intended to strengthen professional standards, consumer protection and capability across the strata sector.

This page brings together SCA (Vic)’s advocacy, summaries of the requirements, key dates, practical guidance, training information and links to official sources to help members understand and prepare for the new requirements.

SCA (Vic) will continue working closely with government and regulators to support implementation and provide high-quality education and guidance for the profession.
