MHIA uses the Insurance Council of Australia's standard definition of flood. As of the 18th of June 2012 flood is defined as -
The covering of normally dry land by water that has escaped or been released from the normal confines of:MHIA has been a specialist insurer of land lease homes for over 30 years. We understand the special circumstances under which land lease agreements operate. When we make underwriting decisions such as what categories of protection we offer, we try to make our cover as comprehensive as possible, while continuing to offer an affordable price.
Due to the nature of flooding and the unpredictablity associated with it, we have made the business decision not to cover flood. In doing so we are able to offer more competetive rates to our clients.

MHIA insurance is so much cheaper than all other insurance companies for retirement villages. I saved over $30 per month!! Good to see they are so assuring about cyber security, obviously on top of their game.

From my initial email enquiry to insure my onsite caravan/annexe MHIA's response was very prompt. The quotation process was easy, staff very helpful and knowledgeable. I have no hesitation in recommending MHIA Insurance.

A recent accident in our home damaged my husbands computer, the local computer repair place said it couldn't be fixed so we thought we would claim it on our MHIA insurance policy. The staff at MHIA were so helpful, we claimed online, sent photos of the damage and the report from the repair place and within a couple of days our claim was approved and the money in our bank to buy a new computer. Such great service and the monthly premiums are so much cheaper than many other insurance companies.

Thanks for the warning about increased inclement weather due to La Nina. The check list was very handy and we are pleased to say it seems we have kept one step ahead of your suggestions as everything has been done.

Our experience with MHIA was amazing. From the moment they answered my first phone call we knew we were in capable, caring hands. Everyone we dealt with at MHIA during the five and half months ordeal of having Greg's house repaired after the fire were excellent, thank you MHIA.

I have been dealing with the team at MHIA insurance for a claim and have found the whole process to be very easy and friendly. From claim to settlement less than a week which is great. I can now have my solar back. Once again thank you MHIA.

I rang MHIA and spoke to a delightful young lady and explained that I had a claim, explained exactly the reason and she went and spoke to claims manager, she apologised for the wait and then advised me what I needed to do. I sent the necessary paper work off (emailed) and within three days claim was approved. Unbelievable and caring service. Would certainly recommend them

Called for a quote for home and contents insurance for our new Lifestyle Communities home. They answered all our questions and followed up promptly with a very competitive quote by email which we later accepted. Called them back and arranged monthly payment over the phone for no extra cost. Highly recommend MHIA for their service. Thank you.
