The updates follow CHU's 2025 State of the Strata Market report which shows a modest 2.8% rise in strata insurance premiums despite climate challenges. There's also mention of the Insurance Council of Australia's push for Victoria's strata legislation reforms due to escalating insurance premiums resulting from poor governance. In more news, the general insurance sector witnessed a high return on equity last financial year, however, experts predict it will drop to 13% this financial year due to moderated premium growth - a typical industry cycle.
