Real Data. Real Insights. Real Progress.

In an industry often clouded by opinion and assumption, La Trobe University’s Data Analytics team has undertaken an independent analysis of 11,500 of the most recent Minimum Standards audits conducted by Property Compliance Victoria. The result? A data-backed view of the real state of Victorian rental properties—and the critical role property managers are playing in lifting compliance across the board.

Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing key insights uncovered through this analysis. From common compliance challenges to unexpected trends across metro and regional areas, this data provides a clear, honest picture of how Victoria is tracking on Minimum Standards—and where the opportunities for further progress lie.

This isn’t anecdotal. It’s real data, revealing real movement in the right direction.

Why This Analysis Matters

For too long, the public narrative has painted a one-sided picture of non-compliance and landlord neglect. But this analysis proves what those in the industry already know:

Property managers are not the problem. They are the solution.

The Property Management cohort are the ones coordinating repairs, educating clients, and tackling environmental and structural challenges head-on.

And now, we’ve got the data to back it up.
