Why you need commercial strata insurance?

Because shared property means shared risk. Commercial strata insurance helps protect the building, common areas, and the owners corporation when unexpected events affect the whole community.

Legal requirements

Commercial strata insurance is typically required under strata legislation, helping owners corporations meet their obligations and maintain appropriate protection for the building and common property.

Financial protection

A single event can create large shared costs for repairs, replacement, and recovery. Commercial strata cover helps protect the building and common assets, reducing the financial impact on lot owners.

Shared risk management

Shared property means shared responsibility. Cover can help manage liability exposures and governance risks connected to common areas, volunteers, and owners corporation decisions.

Helpful answers and key documents.

Explore our most common questions, then review the Policy Overview, PDS and TMD to understand what’s covered.

Strata insurance typically covers the building structure and shared property rather than individual unit contents. It typically includes protection for the physical building (walls, roof, windows), common areas (hallways, lifts, gardens), and fixtures as defined as building in accordance with the building definition in the policy wording. It covers damage from events like fire, storm, earthquake,  impact damage, and vandalism etc. It also provides public liability cover for injuries in shared spaces and may cover legal costs for the owners corporation. It ensures the building can be repaired or rebuilt if damaged. Some policies also have additional policy sections that can provide cover for many other exposures the body corporate may face – for full coverage details refer to the relevant PDS & Policy Wording.

Whilst Strata Insurance policies are very broad and provide extensive coverage for many events some losses are not covered, some claims that are not covered can be due to damage caused by tree roots, defects, damage caused by vermin, normal settling, faulty workmanship or wear and tear – for full details refer to the relevant PDS & Policy Wording.

Typically strata policies do not cover personal belongings & internal contents (furniture, electronics, clothes etc) or certain internal contents like carpet and blinds. Occupants and owners of individual lots require separate contents, business or landlord insurance to ensure they are covered in the event something goes wrong.
