90 Day Insurance stuff for Hiring

Howdy,

I'm a low time PPL (200hrs) and haven't been doing too much flying lately though i'm current and had a BFR last Feb.

I called a few flying schools in the melbourne area to rent a archer/warrior/172/whatever and was surprised to hear that they need a 90day check ride regardless of whether you are current from a CASA point of view. I can understand an initial check if i've never flown from that particular school before but this is 'every' 90 days.

One place needed it every 90 days, another needed it for 'complex' a/c like a lance but skipped it ( after the initial check ) for simpler singles.

Is this a new thing? An insurance requirement? it seems odd if you fly every 2nd weekend for 90 days that you need a check.

Cheers
