Strata management ignoring mold problem in apartment — Sydney tenant sick for months

Severe black mold in my apartment bathroom and bedroom in Sydney CBD. Been sick with respiratory issues for 3 months. Strata management says 'ventilate better'. The mold is structural — coming through walls from a water leak in common property. Professional mold assessment says it's Stachybotrys (toxic black mold).
