FAQs
What do I do if I no longer look after a unit I signed up for?
If you’re a resident unit manager, and you no longer look after a unit for which you originally completed the application form, then you need to complete a move-out form.
If I don't sign up for a unit, how will I know the owner or tenant has signed up?
Once an online application form is completed, a confirmation email is sent. You can request the owner or tenant send you a copy of this confirmation for your records.
What if I don’t want to be the primary account holder, but I want to receive copies of the invoices?
If an owner or tenant wants to be the primary account holder, they will need to complete the online application form themselves and add you as a secondary contact on the account. Please ensure there is an understanding between yourself and the Owner to avoid double payment of accounts.
How do I complete the form if my building is transitioning to Altogether Group from the body corporate as billing agent?
You will complete the online form as per the step-by-step instructions; the only difference is your ‘ownership date’ will be the transition date to Altogether Group. This date will be provided in the notices received from Altogether. If you are not sure, please contact your Account Manager directly or email clientoffice@altogethergroup.com.au to confirm.
Who do I contact if I need to make a change to an account I set up?
You can submit an online request through our website or give our team a call at 1300 803 803.
Am I responsible for the final account?
Yes, if you are the primary account holder, you are responsible for paying all invoices associated with the account, including a final invoice. If an owner or tenant has moved out, and the funds have not been collected it would be your responsibility to follow up.
What do I do if an owner is the primary account holder, but I pay the bills on their behalf?
You need to ensure the owner has added you as a secondary contact on the account and indicated on their move-in application they want you to receive a copy of the invoice. They can do this during the online application process or call us to have it updated. Please ensure there is an understanding between yourself and the owner to avoid double payment of accounts.
