Member-owned strata and community title management
Owned by the people we serve
What that looks like in practice: the owners corporations, bodies corporate and community corporations we serve aren't customers we report to from head office - they collectively own the company. No outside shareholders. No competing interests. Your fees pay for your service, not someone else's dividend.
Transparent pricing
What you pay is a management fee, disclosed up front - no hidden charges layered on top, no margins tucked away where owners can't see them. Your accounts are written to be read, so you can always see where the money goes.
Practically, that shifts how every dollar flows. Income generated from running well - including interest earned on the funds we manage - belongs to our members. Our intent is to keep reinvesting that value back into the cost of management, so over time it works in your favour rather than someone else's.
Why we built Acacia Collective
Acacia Collective started in Adelaide with a shared frustration, and it is not a South Australian problem: strata and community title management across Australia was, for too many owners, an exercise in opaque fees, conflicting interests and decisions made in head offices rather than in the buildings they affected.
Across decades of building Australian businesses - in engineering, finance, technology and city economic development - our founders had seen what co-operative and member-owned structures can do in sectors like banking, mutual insurance and buying co-ops. The same logic, applied to strata and community title, would mean a manager whose only mandate is to look after the people who own and live in the buildings it manages.
That's the collective we've built: member-owned, member-led, and accountable only to the people it serves.
What we do
We provide end-to-end strata and community title management for owners corporations, bodies corporate and community corporations across Australia. Our work covers:
Financial management
Levies, budgets, sinking funds, statutory reporting and transparent accounts owners can read.
Meeting management
AGMs, committee meetings, agendas, minutes and motion drafting.
Maintenance coordination
Routine works, contractor engagement, insurance claims and emergency response.
Compliance support
By-law interpretation, statutory obligations, asbestos management and fire safety.
Records and administration
Correspondence, owner registers and document management.
Dispute support
Calm, accurate guidance for committees and owners navigating disagreements.
Community first
Decisions about your building are easy to make badly from a distance. We make ours close to the buildings they affect - committees kept informed in plain English, owners given the context to weigh in, and every recommendation tested against a single question: is this right for this community?
Being member-owned keeps that promise structural rather than aspirational. There's no head office with different priorities to answer to - the communities we manage are the company, so their interests and ours can't drift apart.
Our partners
We've chosen our partners deliberately. Each one shares the member-first principles that shaped Acacia itself.
RAA Trade Assist. Every maintenance callout we make is backed by RAA's vetted trade and home-services network. Members get the trades RAA trusts, with a name they already know, not a contractor pulled off an out-of-date list.
Beyond Bank. Our banking partner is a customer-owned mutual whose co-operative model mirrors our own. Like Acacia, Beyond Bank answers to its members rather than outside shareholders, so the funds we manage on your behalf sit with an organisation built on the same principles as the one looking after them.
