Home Building Contracts Act 1991
Home Building Contracts (Home Indemnity Insurance Exemptions) Regulations 2002
Builder’s notice
Important notice about home indemnity insurance for multi‑storey multi‑unit developments
*The development or dwelling unit concerned*
This notice is about ..........................................................................
2. The Home Building Contracts Act 1991 requires that the builder take out home indemnity insurance for residential building work costing over $20 000, unless there is an exemption.
Generally, home indemnity insurance covers the person for whom the builder is doing the work against financial loss if the builder is unable to complete the work or meet a valid claim for faulty workmanship because the builder has died, disappeared or become insolvent. The insurance also covers any other person obtaining the property from that person. In most cases the insurance policy must cover the construction period and the 6 years after practical completion of the building work.
Residential building work done under a cost plus contract is usually only insured for faulty workmanship.
Exemptions from the requirement to have insurance
Building work on multi‑storey multi‑unit developments is exempt from the requirement for the builder to take out home indemnity insurance, provided that the builder gives this notice in accordance with the Home Building Contracts (Home Indemnity Insurance Exemptions) Regulations 2002.
A person who receives this notice from the builder is required by the regulations to give a copy of it to any person who intends to purchase a unit in the development from that person, before they enter into a contract for the sale of the unit.
Why did you get this notice?
You have been given this notice, or a copy of it, because you may enter into a contract, or have a contract, with the person who gave you the notice. It is to notify you that the builder who is doing, or has done, the building work has not taken out home indemnity insurance for the building work.
That means that the person for whom the builder is doing, or has done, the building work (and any person obtaining the property from that person) is not insured against financial loss if the builder is unable to complete the work or meet a valid claim for faulty workmanship because the builder has died, disappeared or become insolvent.
You may have the right to rescind your contract to purchase a unit in the development
If you received this notice, or a copy of it, after you entered into the contract and you are not a developer of the development, you have a right to rescind the contract (in accordance with the regulations) unless you were given a developer’s notice before you entered into the contract.
If you have a right to rescind the contract —
(a) you may end the contract;
(b) you have a right to get your deposit and any other payments made to the builder or developer with whom you have the contract towards the construction, alteration or purchase of the dwelling unit back from the builder or developer; and
(c) the builder or developer cannot recover from you any expenses incurred by them.
*If you want to rescind the contract*
11. If you want to rescind the contract you must give the builder or developer with whom you have the contract a “Notice of exercise of right to rescind” before —
(a) the end of one month after the day on which you received this notice; or
(b) settlement,
whichever is the earlier.
The “Notice of exercise of right to rescind” is set out below.
*For example*: you receive a copy of this notice on 21 June, the one month starts on 22 June and ends on 21 July. To exercise your right to rescind, the builder or developer must receive your Notice of exercise of right to rescind on or before 21 July, or before settlement if settlement is going to take place before the end of 21 July.
*Other matters*
12. Just because you have been given this notice, or a copy of it, does not necessarily mean that the person who gave it to you is at fault.
If you are in doubt about your rights, or you don’t understand this notice, you should seek legal advice.

Home Building Contracts Act 1991
Home Building Contracts (Home Indemnity Insurance Exemptions) Regulations 2002
Developer’s notice
Important notice about home indemnity insurance for
multi‑storey multi‑unit developments where a developer sells
off‑the‑plan to a purchaser before engaging a builder
The development or dwelling unit concerned
This notice is about ..........................................................................
The Home Building Contracts Act 1991 requires that the builder take out home indemnity insurance for residential building work costing over $20 000, unless there is an exemption.
Generally, home indemnity insurance covers the person for whom the builder is doing the work against financial loss if the builder is unable to complete the work or meet a valid claim for faulty workmanship because the builder has died, disappeared or become insolvent. The insurance also covers any other person (in this case, you) obtaining the property from that person. In most cases the insurance policy must cover the construction period and the 6 years after practical completion of the building work.
Exemption from the requirement to have insurance
Building work on multi‑storey multi‑unit developments is exempt from the requirement for the builder to take out home indemnity insurance, provided that the builder of the development gives a notice (known as a builder’s notice) to the person for whom the builder is doing the work. See the Home Building Contracts (Home Indemnity Insurance Exemptions) Regulations 2002.
Once the developer engages a builder and the builder has given the developer the builder’s notice, the developer must give you a copy of the builder’s notice within 10 days after receiving the notice.
Why did you get this notice?
This notice is to warn you that —
(a) the developer has not yet engaged a builder to carry out the building work for the development;
(b) it is likely that the builder will not take out home indemnity insurance for the building work; and
(c) you may not be in a position to assess the risk resulting from the builder not having home indemnity insurance for the building work (should that be the case).
If the builder does not have home indemnity insurance for the building work it means that —
(a) the developer; and
(b) you, as a person purchasing the property from the developer,
are not insured against financial loss if the builder is unable to meet a valid claim for faulty workmanship because the builder has died, disappeared or become insolvent.
If you are in doubt about your rights, or you don’t understand this notice, you should seek legal advice or contact the Department of Commerce Call Centre on 1300 30 40 54 (local call).
