01 · The exposure

Shared buildings need cover that every owner can rely on.

Strata insurance covers the common property and building of a strata scheme, along with the owners corporation’s liabilities. State legislation sets minimum insurance requirements for most strata schemes, and committees and strata managers need confidence that the scheme’s cover is adequate and current.
