About this app
Australia's STR rules changed in 2024 to 2025 and most hosts are paying fines they could have avoided. STR Compliance is now built into every room, pick your state, enter your register ID, and we count the nights used against your cap. Greater Sydney non-hosted properties get an alert at 165 nights so you can pause sales before breaching the 180-night limit. VIC stays under 28 nights are flagged for the Short Stay Levy, 7.5% as at September 2026. QLD councils (Brisbane, Noosa, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast) get the right per-council rule set. Caps, thresholds and the levy rate are set by the states and do change, so check the current figure with the regulator before you rely on it.

About OneBookPlus apps
How STR Compliance (AU) fits into the rest of OneBookPlus
Most OneBookPlus apps are not external integrations wired up between separate products. They are native modules installed inside the same platform you already use for invoicing, bookings, CRM, and accounting. That means STR Compliance (AU) reads from and writes to the same customer records, financial entries, and calendar events as every other module, with no scheduled sync delays and no risk of data drift between systems.
Because the marketplace runs inside OneBookPlus, billing is consolidated. STR Compliance (AU) appears as a single line on the same OneBookPlus invoice as your plan, so you don't end up reconciling separate vendor charges across three or four different SaaS subscriptions. Cancellation is one click and never reaches into your data. Uninstalling an app removes the feature from the UI but preserves the underlying customer, invoice, and booking records, so reinstalling later picks up exactly where you left off.
Every app in the marketplace is built specifically for the Australian small and medium business context: GST and ABN handling are first-class concerns, dates render as DD/MM/YYYY, currency defaults to AUD, and the underlying compliance plumbing (BAS summaries, ATO-friendly records, AHPRA / NDIS / Fair Work checkpoints where relevant) is shared across modules.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about STR Compliance (AU) and the OneBookPlus app marketplace.
How does the 180-night cap counter work?
For Greater Sydney non-hosted properties, the app counts booked nights against the NSW annual limit, 180 nights as at September 2026, and alerts you at 165 nights so you can pause sales before breaching. The count is driven by your actual bookings, not a manual tally.
Does it calculate the Victorian Short Stay Levy?
It flags every stay under 28 nights as subject to the Short Stay Levy that applies from 2025, 7.5% as at September 2026, so the liability is visible at booking time rather than discovered at lodgement. You remit the levy to the State Revenue Office; the app surfaces what's owed.
Which QLD councils are covered?
Brisbane, Noosa, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast have their own STR permit rules built in, plus the WA STRA register. Each room carries the rule set for its jurisdiction.
