Bringing together
diverse property expertise
Founded in 2003, Civium is a family-owned business that has grown into a leading provider of property services across Australia. We offer a range of services, including strata management, property sales, leasing, and facilities management.
Creating a greater synergy
between people and property.
We are a team of dedicated property professionals, united by a shared belief that exceptional service comes from always striving to do better. Our focus has always been on building the right combination of expertise, technology, and service to ensure our clients feel supported at every stage of their property journey.
Dedicated professionals
passionate about property.
Great outcomes start with investing in great people. Our team is made up of dedicated professionals who combine expertise with a drive to deliver exceptional service.
The diversity of our team allows us to think critically about the changes we want to make in the industry. Our varied backgrounds and experiences help us deliver a comprehensive range of services, ensuring we meet every client’s needs. Whether managing properties, guiding sales and leasing, or working behind the scenes to enhance technology and the client experience, their skills and commitment strengthen everything we do.
Conscious decisions today for a positive impact tomorrow.
We’re on a mission to create meaningful change, not just for today, but for the future. Civium is on a journey to align our operations with sustainable, socially responsible, and governance-focused practices.
By prioritising initiatives that foster meaningful connections in our daily operations, we’re contributing to a more ethical, environmentally conscious, and responsible industry. These aren’t just lofty goals; they’re deliberate choices that strengthen our governance, build trust, and align with our purpose of creating greater synergy between people and property.
Honouring our
indigenous connections.
Civium is committed to recognising and celebrating indigenous heritage, with a focus on fostering cultural connection and empowering future generations.
Our Founder and Chairman, Doug O’Mara, is a proud Pajong man from Ngunnawal Country who discovered his Indigenous heritage well into adulthood. His journey of cultural discovery has strengthened his commitment to supporting Aboriginal communities, not only through personal reflection but also through tangible contributions to education and empowerment.
Following the example set by Doug, Civium acknowledges the importance of reconciliation. We recognise and respect the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across all the communities we support.
Proudly Owned by Bright & Duggan Group
SUBJECT TO ACCC APPROVAL
Since 1977, Bright & Duggan has operated in strata and community management and has grown to become one of the largest integrated strata and community management companies in Australia. We manage buildings of any size, combining our vast expertise with a local presence in every community we operate in, to provide genuine, personalised services with the same core values as when we were founded.
Whilst our business is headquartered in Sydney where we were founded, we have an extensive eastern seaboard presence and continue to expand in each state we operate in. We are proud to be acknowledged as one of the leading integrated strata and property businesses in Australia.
Following the retirement of one of Bright & Duggan’s founding partners Phil Duggan in 2019, a partnership commenced with the Johns Lyng Group (“JLG”) when it took a majority financial and controlling interest in Bright & Duggan. As a market-leading integrated building services group, JLG delivers building and restoration services across Australia and the United States of America. The core business of JLG is predicated on its ability to rebuild and restore a variety of properties and contents after damage by insured events, including catastrophic impact, weather and/or fire. On 23 October 2025, JLG was acquired by Pacific Equity Partners.
The Bright & Duggan Group was formed when its original client services were expanded to include building management, concierge, build-to-rent and specialised community management services. These offerings are provided by subsidiaries of the Bright & Duggan Group and adhere to the same standards we set and provide to each and every client.
