Strata disputes — whether over by-laws, levies, repairs, or committee decisions — can escalate quickly. When informal negotiation or internal resolution fails, the next step is often the Tribunal process.
But lodging a Tribunal application without proper preparation can result in rejection, delays, or a failed case. Our Tribunal Preparation service gives your scheme the tools, structure, and support to approach a Tribunal confidently and professionally — without the cost of engaging a solicitor.
We support applications across NSW, including:
Ideal for self-managed schemes, committee-led matters, or strata managers who need detailed help preparing submissions, collation, and application materials for a formal dispute process.
Assessment of Dispute and Tribunal Pathway
We help determine which application type is required, whether prior mediation is compulsory, and what documents or evidence you’ll need to submit.
Application Form Support
Step-by-step assistance completing all relevant sections of the application form, including:
Evidence Review and Structuring
We review your available materials (emails, minutes, correspondence, invoices, etc.) and organise them into a logical, indexed submission.
Drafting of Tribunal Submissions or Statements
We write clear, well-structured submissions that:
Timeline and Issue Summary
A visual or written timeline of the key events in your dispute, including who did what and when — making it easier for Tribunal members to follow your case.
Index of Attachments
A numbered attachment list cross-referenced to your submission, ensuring all supporting materials are easy to locate and professionally formatted.
Tribunal Process Checklist
A plain-English guide to what happens next, including deadlines, serving documents, attending mediation or hearings, and responding to further directions.
Briefing Notes for Committee Members
We provide short, clear summaries for use by your committee or spokesperson at mediation or hearing — outlining key arguments, anticipated questions, and procedural expectations.
Zoom Committee Briefing
A 30–45 minute Zoom session with your committee to walk through the submission, explain next steps, and answer questions about the process.
Save Thousands on Legal Fees
Most Tribunal matters are self-represented — we help you prepare like a professional without the ongoing costs of a solicitor.
Compliant, Persuasive Submissions
Tribunals expect organised, factual, and legally relevant materials. We ensure your case is easy to follow, properly supported, and professionally formatted.
Strata-Focused Expertise
Unlike generic legal templates, we understand strata structures, by-laws, voting rules, levy disputes, and repair obligations across all Australian jurisdictions.
Boost Your Chance of Success
Well-structured submissions backed by clear evidence and compliance improve your credibility and strengthen your position during mediation or hearings.
Perfect for Self-Managed or Small Schemes
You don’t need a law firm to present a strong case. You just need clear support, strong documentation, and a solid understanding of the process — which we provide.
