Strata Insurance

Protecting shared properties, common areas, and the interests of every lot owner — the right way.

What is Strata Insurance?

Strata insurance is a specialised form of property insurance designed for buildings divided into multiple lots — such as apartment complexes, townhouse developments, and mixed-use buildings. In Australia, strata insurance is a legal requirement for all registered strata schemes.

Unlike a standard home insurance policy, strata insurance covers the building as a whole — including common areas like lobbies, lifts, stairwells, pools, gardens, and car parks — as well as the shared liability of all owners within the scheme.

At HC Insurance, we work closely with owners corporations, strata managers, and individual lot owners across Australia to source strata policies that provide comprehensive protection at competitive premiums.

Please note: Strata insurance requirements vary by state and territory. Our advisors will ensure your policy meets the specific legislative requirements in your jurisdiction — whether you are in NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, or elsewhere in Australia.
