Strata Hero

About Strata Hero

We are on a mission to bring fairness and transparency to strata insurance across Australia.

Our Story

Strata Hero was born out of a simple but frustrating discovery: owners corporations across Australia were systematically overpaying for their strata insurance. The culprit? Hidden commissions embedded within policies arranged through strata management companies.

Our founders, having worked across both strata management and insurance, saw how these commissions — often 20% or more of the premium — were quietly inflating costs for building owners. Strata managers had little incentive to shop around for better deals when their revenue was tied to higher premiums.

We created Strata Hero to break that cycle. As an independent insurance intermediary, we work solely for owners corporations. We compare policies across the market, negotiate directly with insurers, and pass the savings on to building owners — not strata managers.

Since launch, we have helped hundreds of owners corporations reclaim control of their insurance costs, saving them thousands of dollars each year.

Our Mission

To empower owners corporations with transparent, fairly-priced strata insurance — free from unnecessary management commissions.
