It is a requirement that the details of short‑term rental arrangements, usually referred to as ‘bookings’, must be notified to the Commissioner for Consumer Protection. This is done by reporting this information to the STRA Register.
The STRA Register will be integrated with Airbnb, Vrbo, Stayz and Booking.com through an application programming interface (API), meaning booking information taken through these platforms, or changes/cancellations to bookings, will be automatically uploaded to the STRA register.
Bookings taken through other channels, including changes or cancellations to these bookings, will need to be entered manually into the STRA register. The accommodation provider must report these bookings by the 5th day of the following calendar month that the booking was taken.
This information can be added by logging into the STRA Register, viewing the relevant registration and selecting ‘Record a short-term booking’.
For more information on these requirements, or for assistance in entering booking information into the STRA Register, please contact Consumer Protection:
Email: stra.enquiries@lgirs.wa.gov.au
Phone: 08 6251 1234
Stay compliant and ensure your STRA bookings are reported to the STRA Register.
