Frequently asked questions

What does commercial strata insurance typically cover?

Commercial strata insurance is designed to bring together cover for the building structure, common property and shared liability risks across a commercial or mixed-use complex, tailored to the mix of tenancies involved, subject to policy terms.

Commercial strata schemes often involve a wider range of tenancy types, shared plant and equipment, and liability exposure from customers and the public, so cover is generally tailored to reflect the specific risk profile of the complex, subject to policy terms.

Standard commercial strata insurance generally covers the building and common property rather than individual tenancy fit-outs, stock or contents. Tenants can look at separate business insurance for these, subject to policy terms.

Public liability cover under a commercial strata policy can help protect the body corporate if a tenant, customer or contractor is injured in a common area, subject to policy terms.

Management liability and office bearer’s liability cover can be included as optional extras, which are designed to help protect committee members and managing agents if a decision they made in good faith is later disputed, subject to policy terms.
