As a lot owner, if you cannot attend a meeting, you can appoint a trusted person as your representative. This person is your “proxy” and their vote is counted as yours.

You may authorise a person in writing to act as your proxy to:

  • Attend, speak or vote on your behalf at a meeting of the owners corporation
  • Vote on your behalf in a ballot, or
  • Represent you on the committee of the owners corporation

To nominate a proxy you must complete a prescribed form, which is in the Owner Corporations Regulations 2007 and available from Consumer Affairs Victoria, and deliver it to the owners corporation secretary. Proxies automatically lapse 12 months after the form is delivered to the secretary, unless an earlier date is specified.

It is illegal for someone to coerce you into making another person your proxy.
