Quick answer
A strata compliance calendar template lists each recurring obligation — essential services checks, insurance renewal, fire safety statements and similar items — with its due date, the person responsible, and its current status. Requirements vary by state and building type, so check with your regulator or manager for exactly what applies to your scheme.
Committees and strata managers who need a single, dated view of recurring compliance obligations across a scheme, rather than relying on memory or scattered reminders.

Why a compliance calendar is worth keeping
Strata schemes carry a mix of recurring obligations — essential services checks, insurance renewals, statutory statements — and most of them are easy to miss simply because they only come around once a year or less. A compliance calendar puts every recurring due date in one place, so nothing depends on someone remembering it from twelve months ago.
Requirements vary by state and building
There's no single list of compliance items that applies identically to every strata scheme in Australia. What's required depends on your state's legislation, your local council, and features of the building itself — a scheme with a lift or fire sprinkler system will have obligations that a smaller scheme doesn't. Always confirm the specific requirements and frequencies that apply to your building with your state's regulator, your fire safety provider, or your strata manager, rather than copying a list from another scheme.
Separate the due date from the reminder date
A compliance item due on a specific date needs action well before that date — booking a contractor, gathering paperwork, getting committee sign-off if spending is involved. Build in a lead time for each item rather than setting a reminder for the due date itself, when it may already be too late to act.
Assign responsibility, not just a date
A due date without an owner tends to drift. For each item, record who is responsible for making sure it happens — a committee member, the strata manager, or a specific contractor — so there's no ambiguity about whose job it is when the date approaches.
Keep the supporting evidence close to the date
A due date on its own doesn't prove anything happened. Wherever a compliance item produces a certificate, report or statement, record where that document is stored so it can be found quickly if it's ever needed — for an insurance claim, a sale, or a query from an owner.
Insurance deserves its own attention
Insurance renewal dates are one of the most consequential items on any compliance calendar, since a lapse in cover can have serious consequences. Track the renewal date for each policy separately, along with where the current certificate of currency is held, rather than treating insurance as a single generic line item.
Review the calendar itself periodically
Legislation changes, buildings change, and contracts change — a compliance calendar that was accurate two years ago may no longer be complete. Set a recurring review, at least annually, to check whether new obligations have appeared or old ones no longer apply.
