Canberra may be small in size, but it’s proving to be a powerhouse on the national stage—especially when it comes to forward-thinking approaches in strata management. At the 2024–2025 Strata Community Australasia (SCA) Awards, Vantage Strata was recognised with the Environmental, Social, and Community Impact Award, celebrating the firm’s commitment to supporting its people and contributing positively to the wider community.
At the heart of the win is Vantage Strata’s groundbreaking partnership with Canberra-based health tech start-up CU Health, which provides employees with a tailored suite of healthcare services. From general practitioners and psychologists to career coaches and dieticians, the platform offers a holistic approach to physical, mental, and professional wellbeing.
“Like many high-performing workplaces, we go through busy periods that can be incredibly demanding on our team,” said Rupert Cullen, Chief Executive Officer of Vantage Strata. “Our goal was to create a wellbeing solution that wasn’t just a tick-the-box initiative, but something genuinely supportive and designed with our staff’s real needs in mind.”
The results speak for themselves: increased staff morale, improved job satisfaction, reduced turnover, and a more resilient and motivated team.
Dr Patrick Aouad, CEO of CU Health, echoed the impact of the initiative: “Through our work together, Vantage Strata has not only improved their culture, retention, and performance—but also saved and transformed lives. They’ve shown what’s possible when companies invest meaningfully in their people.”
This national recognition reinforces Vantage Strata’s growing reputation not only as a leading provider of strata services, but also as a company that truly values its people.
“In Canberra, there’s a strong sense of collaboration among businesses. We lift each other up,” Cullen said. “This award is a reflection of that spirit—and of what’s possible when innovation meets genuine care.”
