NSW GOVERNMENT COVID-19 UPDATE
Dear Members,
As NSW’s Covid-19 cases have increased with the stronger Delta strain and as we enter into a long than expected lockdown, the NSW Government now requires the following to help stop the spread.
RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS TO DISPLAY NSW HEALTH POSTER
A mask is now required to be worn in ALL indoor common areas of the building. This includes foyers, lifts, rubbish rooms, hallways and other common areas.
QR CODES NOW MANDATORY FOR ALL BUSINESS
From July 12, The NSW Government QR Code is mandatory for all workplaces and retail premises. All visitors are required to check in including the following –
- Offices, including call centres
- Manufacturing and warehousing
- Universities and TAFE
- Schools including teachers and visitors (such as parents and contractors) but excluding students.
- Retail businesses and supermarkets
- Individual shops within shopping centres
- Shopping centres will also be asked to display QR codes at entry points where practicable
- Gyms
This is the most effective way to help contact tracers keep us all safe.
STAY SAFE AND INFORMED!

THE NSW PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
SCHEME IS NOW IN EFFECT.
From July 1 2021, The Professional Standards Scheme for Strata Community Association (NSW) came into effect. This Scheme is a first of its type for the Property Sector in Australia.
The Professional Standards Scheme will bring to our clients a range of benefits, including:
- The SCA (NSW) will oversee and self-regulate the conduct of all members within a structured professional framework.
- In addition to our internal complaints handling process, the Professional Standards Scheme brings a further robust and independent complaints handling process, ensuring clients can be assured of an independent review and response.
- An increase in Continual Professional Development (CPD) requirements for Strata Managers and Licensee’s in Charge, ensuring the industry remains up to date, educated and aware of their on-going responsibilities to the consumer.
At the forefront of this scheme is a further commitment to consumers to ensure high professional standards across the strata industry in NSW. This is in line with various other initiatives across NSW, including the NSW Government plan to rebuild the construction sector and restore confidence and professionalism.
The Scheme will be supervised by the Professional Standards Council of NSW which is independent of the SCA (NSW).
