Under normal circumstances, processing certificates is accompanied by a fee – these are not normal circumstances, and for the immediate future all fees related to processing and issuing these certificates will be waived for our Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Northern New South Wales schemes. The Certificate of Currency contains essential information for insurance claims such as policy number, breakdown of policy coverage, maximum sum insured under each sub-policy and in some cases specific excess details. Please note that Strata Insurance applies only to Common Property and may or may not include flood damage depending on the policy – we urge you to familiarise yourself with your scheme’s policy in order to be informed in the event of damage. Certificates can be found in the SSKB app or mySSKB web portal under Documents > Owner Documents. Insurance Claims under the Body Corporate/Owners Corporation policy can be submitted via the Insurance Claim Form Please note, Certificates of Currency are only available free of charge through the SSKB app or mySSKB.
