For many of us, our property is our most valuable asset. That’s why it’s crucial to have insurance coverage to protect us from unexpected expenses or even the loss of our home. Finding adequate insurance cover for the common property that meets the requirements of your committee while remaining affordable can be a complex and daunting task. We are here to help make this process easier for you.

CommunitySure is available exclusively to properties managed by PICA Group. Our customers enjoy peace of mind knowing that our policy is backed by QBE and CHU, one of Australia’s largest strata insurers. It provides high levels of extra cover at no additional cost (see inclusions table).

It is mandatory in Australia to have insurance that conforms to your state’s strata legislation. Common property insurance protects aspects of a property that the average home insurance policy doesn’t. With CommunitySure, you are protected for accidents, loss, damage, and many types of natural disasters.
CommunitySure also covers public liability (e.g. death or injury to a person on strata common property), office bearer’s liability, and personal accident/voluntary workers cover. An insurance policy may have exclusions.
Please see below the product disclosure statements for more details:
