Could an outdated valuation leave your strata building underinsured?

The cost of rebuilding can include demolition, professional fees and compliance upgrades, as well as construction. If the building sum insured doesn’t reflect these costs, owners may be left to fund the shortfall after a major loss.

Our latest insight explains why current valuations matter, what they should include and when to review them.

We’d love your help to make it count. Every donation, big or small, supports vital breast cancer research and NBCF’s vision of zero deaths from breast cancer.

Trusted professionals. Stronger communities.

We’re proud to support the 2026 SCA (Vic) Symposium as a sponsor and exhibitor at Marvel Stadium on 7-8 October.

This year’s theme reflects what we work towards every day at Whitbread: supporting strata managers and the communities they care for with practical advice, responsive broking and specialist claims management that provide cover, clarity and confidence.

We’re looking forward to catching up with industry colleagues, sharing ideas and discussing the challenges and opportunities ahead for strata.

Joining us? Drop by the Whitbread stand and say hello to the team. We’d love to hear what’s happening in your business and how we can help.

Spring cleaning gives lot owners and residents a great opportunity to improve shared spaces, but volunteering on common property can carry safety and insurance risks.

Before anyone picks up a mower, ladder or power tool, the Owners Corporation should confirm that the task has been approved and the volunteer properly recorded.

Our latest article explains when how Office Bearers Liability can help protect committee members...and when engaging a licensed professional may be a safer option.

Damage can be obvious, but the cause is not always clear.

When a strata claim is lodged, understanding how the damage occurred can be just as important as documenting the visible impact. A clear explanation - including a professional view of the probable cause where needed - gives the insurer a more complete picture of the circumstances.

Early investigation, supporting reports, photos and a documented timeline can help present the claim clearly and support an efficient assessment.

Our latest article looks at why identifying the cause matters and the practical steps that can support a smoother claims process.

Victorian property owners are set to see major changes to domestic building protection from 1 July 2026, when the new Home Warranty scheme begins.

The reforms represent a significant shift from the previous Domestic Building Insurance model, with eligible owners expected to have access to stronger protection where domestic building work is incomplete, defective or non-compliant.

While the changes are a positive step, warranty matters, building defects and overlapping insurance issues can still be complex. Understanding which pathway applies, who is responsible and how different protections may respond remains important.

Strata claims can involve many moving parts.

When damage occurs in a strata property, it can quickly raise questions about what happens next, who is involved and how the claim will progress.

Behind the scenes, there is often a lot of work underway - from gathering information and arranging access to liaising with insurers, reviewing policy response and coordinating next steps.

In our latest article, we explain how strata managers, insurance brokers and claims teams work together to support owners through the strata claims process.

Strata insurance is an important foundation for protecting a building, but it may not cover every type of loss a lot owner could experience.

For strata owners, confidence starts with understanding how different types of cover work together - including strata insurance, contents insurance and landlord insurance.

This is especially important when a claim occurs, as one event can involve different areas of responsibility, different types of damage and different insurance policies.

In our latest article, we outline what strata owners need to when reviewing their insurance needs: https://whitbread.com.au/cover-clarity-confidence-and-care/

EV charging is quickly becoming an even more important consideration for strata communities.

Whitbread has collaborated with FireInsure Group to outline key issues owners corporations should consider when planning for EV charging in strata buildings, including:

- Fire safety
- Electrical capacity
- Maintenance responsibilities
- Cost allocation
- Common property risks
- Insurance implications

For owners corporations, the question is no longer simply whether residents want access to EV charging. It is how charging infrastructure can be installed safely, fairly and with the needs of the whole building in mind.
