A data driven holistic understanding of strata insurance

In response to increased attention on strata insurance affordability and availability, regulation and the role of strata managers in strata insurance, SCA identified a need for a comprehensive, data-driven report detailing strata insurance in Australia and New Zealand,

 

SCA commissioned Dr Nicole Johnston, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Finance at Deakin Business School, to produce an industry-first report providing in-depth social and economic analysis of the strata industry. The purpose of the report is to aid consumers, governments, and the broader community in understanding key elements of the industry, and inform SCA’s advocacy platform for shaping the future of the industry.

 

The report, A data-driven holistic understanding of strata insurance in Australia in New Zealand, was launched 7 September 2021 and is available for download.

SCA Episode 1

An increase in regulatory focus on strata insurance has made it clear there are significant knowledge gaps within the community, and the industry itself, regarding the role of strata insurance and the valuable role strata managers play in its supply chain. This is the first in a series of videos where Strata Community Association CEO, Alisha Fisher will sit down with key players from the strata management and insurance industry to discuss the current state of play and road ahead for the delivery of strata insurance in Australia. In this episode, Alisha welcomes Dr Nicole Johnston from Deakin University, author of the soon-to-be-released report 'A data-driven holistic understanding of strata insurance'.

Strata insurance service delivery models

Strata insurance service delivery models; do you know what they are, and why they operate the way they do? This short video provides an overview of the purposes strata insurance service models serve, and how they are understood and received by the sector. At Strata Community Association, we know there is no one size fits all model. Therefore, we advocate on behalf of our members for consumer choice, transparency and disclosure to improve consumer protection in the delivery of strata insurance services.
