Insurance Claim Process

Strata Management Group can proactively assist your body corporate scheme throughout the complete insurance claims process.

Our body corporate managers have the experience required to assist the committee and owners from start to finish, including the preparation and lodgement of insurance claims, proactively follow up the broker for updates and ensure that the body corporate receives reimbursements for payments made for insurable work.

Following the lodgement of a claim, your body corporate manager will work actively with the brokers, assessors, contractors, engineers, and the committee to ensure that any damage is rectified as quickly as possible.

Please note, lot owners need to carry their own insurance to cover the internal contents (carpets, curtains etc.) and landlord insurance where applicable. Please contact our office to confirm if you have any specific questions regarding the insurance requirements for your scheme.
