Distribute strata insurance under our AFSL. A formal channel-partner pathway with dedicated broker support, designed for offices placing volume.
Strata Manager offices place insurance for the schemes they manage. The question is how. A loose referral to a general broker leaves the office without a defined commercial position and the schemes without specialist advocacy. A formal channel-partner relationship with a strata-only broker resolves both.
Strata Insurance operates a structured Distribution Agreement to Authorised Representative pathway under AFSL 234722. The pathway is designed for Strata Manager offices that place volume, want regulatory clarity, and want a dedicated broker team behind every quote and every claim.
A formal written agreement under our AFSL that defines the commercial terms, the referral and quote flow, the disclosures required, and the boundary of responsibilities between the Strata Manager office and our broker team.
Where volume and commercial alignment justify it, the office can step up to Authorised Representative status under AFSL 234722. The structure carries the regulatory framework, the disclosures, and the commercial uplift that distinguishes an AR from a referral relationship.
Channel-partner offices are matched with a dedicated broker contact, not routed through a general queue. The same person quotes your schemes' renewals each cycle and advocates on claims.
Offices with portfolios receive bulk-quoting workflow: portfolio-wide reviews, renewal scheduling, and Certificate of Currency processing built around the office's calendar rather than ad-hoc.
The full specialist panel sits behind the partnership. Your office places your schemes' insurance across CHU, Chubb, Flex, QUS, SCI, SUU, AXIS and Longitude through one channel.
The commercial terms are agreed in writing as part of the Distribution Agreement or the Authorised Representative agreement. Both are intermediated under AFSL 234722, with commission paid by the underwriter on placed business. Specific terms reflect the office's portfolio profile and are discussed during onboarding.
No. The Distribution Agreement and Authorised Representative pathways operate under our AFSL 234722. Your office places business as an authorised distributor or representative, with the regulatory framework provided by our licence.
Yes. The panel breadth allows continuity with carriers your office has worked with previously, alongside access to the broader specialist market. Carrier selection sits with the placement decision on each scheme.
From first conversation to Distribution Agreement signed: typically two to four weeks, depending on internal approvals and the documentation review. Authorised Representative onboarding is longer due to the regulatory checks.
Existing schemes can stay where they are until renewal. As renewals fall due they are placed through the new channel arrangement. There is no requirement to switch a scheme mid-term.
Call the office on 03 9597 0357 to speak to a broker, or use the contact form noting that the enquiry is from a Strata Manager office. Initial conversations are confidential and there is no commitment to proceed.
