Strata Insurance

What is Strata Insurance?

If you own a townhouse, unit, or apartment, and your sharing common space with others, you don’t want to be left to foot the bill if there’s damage to shared parts of the building or items..

Strata insurance protects the building and common areas or facilities, with the premiums paid for by the owner’s corporation.

Who should consider it?

Strata insurance is a compulsory in every state - so if you’re part of an owners’ corporation in a townhouse, unit, flat, apartment or duplex, the owner’s corporation will need strata insurance.

An insurance broker can arrange strata insurance on behalf of the owners’ corporation.

"As a strata owner, you also have a share of an unlimited liability for anything that goes wrong, which is why strata insurance is compulsory in every state and territory."
