A strong example of what can happen when owners are given genuine funding choice.

Our latest Fortitude Valley case study shows how flexible strata finance helped a Body Corporate move forward with major remediation works while accommodating different owner preferences.

A night that put the very best of Australia’s apartment sector in the spotlight.

Firstrata Finance was pleased to be represented by Alek Vellios at the Australian Apartment Advocacy 2026 National Apartment Awards for Excellence, celebrating the projects, people and ideas helping raise the standard of apartment living across Australia.

Beyond the awards themselves, evenings like this are an important opportunity to connect with the people working across the sector, share ideas and recognise just how much innovation and expertise exists within the apartment community.

Congratulations to all of this year’s winners, finalists and everyone recognised on the night, and to Australian Apartment Advocacy for bringing the industry together for such a fantastic celebration.

The sun turned it on for the Strata Impact conference, which certainly lived up to its name.

A huge thank you to Dr Nicole Johnston for organising such a fantastic event, bringing together insightful speakers, valuable industry perspectives, and plenty of opportunities for collaborative networking.

Phil Bottomley and Sally Pollard are heading back to the Firstrata Finance team with plenty of ideas, insights, and learnings to put into action.

Looking forward to continuing the conversations and connections made throughout the conference.

What a fantastic start to the Strata Impact Conference 2026!

Yesterday was filled with valuable insights from an outstanding lineup of speakers, and a thought-provoking discussion on the future of our industry.

The quality of the presentations, conversations, and networking opportunities has been exceptional, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Mondrian Gold Coast.

Looking forward to day two and continuing to learn, connect, and share key takeaways from this incredible event.

A great opportunity to connect with the team at and continue the conversation around smarter, more flexible approaches to strata finance.

The session gave us the chance to share more about Firstrata Finance, the different funding solutions available to owners corporations, and how the right finance structure can help committees move important works forward while recognising that not every owner is in the same financial position.

Thanks to the Bluestone team for the warm welcome, the questions and a genuinely engaging discussion.

We always value the opportunity to get in the room, exchange ideas and build stronger connections.

When legislation shifts, the impact is rarely confined to the legal wording. It changes the questions committees ask, the advice strata professionals need to give and, ultimately, how owners corporations make decisions.

That made KCL Law’s recent Owners Corporation breakfast seminar particularly valuable, with Alek Vellios from Firstrata Finance joining more than 90 industry professionals for a discussion on the proposed changes to the Owners Corporations Act.

Anton Block AM, Ebony Rice and Elizabeth Densley explored what the proposed reforms could mean in practice, prompting an important conversation about the challenges, responsibilities and opportunities ahead for Victoria’s owners corporation sector.

For Firstrata, staying close to these conversations matters. Understanding the regulatory environment our clients are operating in helps us provide better support to strata managers, committees and owners as they navigate increasingly complex decisions.

Thank you to KCL Law for bringing the industry together and creating the opportunity for such a timely discussion.

A great evening at the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales [REINSW] Strata Sundowner.

Thank you to REINSW for hosting the event and to Australian Apartment Advocacy for the invitation to be part of the evening.

It was great to have the Firstrata team there, catching up with clients and friends from across the strata industry and enjoying a very well-attended event.

A fantastic turnout and a great night all round.
