The job

Where this gets hard

The owners corporation carries the exposure

When a strata scheme engages a contractor whose public liability has lapsed and something goes wrong on common property, the owners corporation is exposed. Holding current evidence of each contractor’s cover is part of managing that risk.

Strata means lots of small trades, lots of certificates

A single building cycles through plumbers, electricians, cleaners, gardeners, pest, fire and lift contractors — each with their own Certificate of Currency on its own renewal date. Across a portfolio of buildings it’s unmanageable by inbox.

Owners and committees expect proof on request

When an owner or committee asks whether every contractor is covered, "it’s somewhere in my email" isn’t an answer. COI Tracker keeps every current certificate one click away, filterable by building.

FAQ — AU strata managers

How do strata managers track contractor Certificates of Currency?

The practical way is one dashboard with every contractor your owners corporations engage, each tagged with their public liability (and workers comp) Certificate of Currency and its expiry date, plus automatic reminders before renewal. COI Tracker replaces the strata spreadsheet — it tracks and reminds, it does not verify cover.

Can I manage contractors across multiple buildings or owners corporations?

Yes — add the building or scheme name to each contractor and filter the dashboard by it. Growth adds CSV import so you can bulk-load an existing register, and Pro adds team members so each portfolio manager can maintain their own buildings.

What insurance do strata contractors usually need to show?

Most owners corporations require contractors to hold public liability (commonly A$10–20m) and, where they have employees, a workers compensation Certificate of Currency for the relevant state. COI Tracker stores each type and expiry per contractor — confirm specific requirements with your strata insurer or broker.

Does this work for body corporate and owners corporation managers in every state?

Yes — the workflow is identical whether it’s an owners corporation (VIC), strata scheme (NSW), or body corporate (QLD). Add each contractor, record the Certificate of Currency type and expiry, and reminders fire automatically before it lapses.
