Strata Insurance (Commercial & Residential)

It is a legal requirement if you own a strata title in Australia. However, each state and territory has its own terms and conditions regarding the specifics of the required strata insurance.

Strata Insurance generally covers common or shared property as defined on the title of the property. This may include lifts, pools, car parks, gardens, ceilings and floors etc. It must provide liability cover in the event someone is injured on your common property.

Commercial strata properties may include retail shops, office buildings or multi-tenanted industrial complexes.

Tip - If a lot owner is running a business from a residential strata unit you need to notify your insurer to ensure you aren't required to change to a Commercial Strata Policy. This may save you a lot of heartache in the event of a public liability claim.
