Glenn McGrath and MHIA: A partnership built on precision, trust and genuine care
31st July 2025
When cricket icon Glenn McGrath aligns with a brand, it’s more than a celebrity endorsement. It’s a statement.
Glenn built his career on unwavering precision and consistency. That same precision now influences MHIA’s mission, delivering insurance as dependable and accurate as a McGrath delivery at the crease.
MHIA specialises in insurance for land lease homeowners. People who choose community, simplicity and peace of mind. Like Glenn, we focus on the basics. Doing things right, caring personally and delivering exactly what customers need. That shared mindset is why this partnership matters more than most.
MHIA customers already know what makes this insurer different, personal service, tailored cover and a deep understanding of how land lease living works. Glenn chose MHIA to partner with because he saw the values he holds dear reflected in the insurer’s approach. As Glenn puts it, MHIA ‘genuinely care about the people they support… they want to help.’
He’s drawn not by PR but by our reputation for transparency, personal relationships and responsiveness, especially when customers need help most.
That shared sense of trust and care runs deep. MHIA’s Managing Director, Ben McInnes, sums it up ‘Glenn helps us tell the MHIA story. He’s a symbol of strength, integrity and approachability.’
As part of the partnership, Glenn spent time visiting actual land lease communities and meeting the people MHIA helps protect. They told him why they trust MHIA.
Shirley said she switched because MHIA treated her as a person, not a policy number.
Peter emphasised MHIA covered what others would not, while making claims simple when life threw a curveball. He told Glenn, ‘as you get older… more insecurities… so security of a reputable insurance company matters.’
Phil also shared his personal journey, chatting with Glenn about life in a land lease community, why he chose MHIA and how it feels knowing he’s properly covered.
Glenn’s respectful and curious approach made for warm, genuine conversations. These interviews show MHIA is more than just another insurer because they understand the value of peace of mind, especially when life takes a turn.
As most of us know, Glenn was celebrated for his bowling accuracy with a nearly perfect line and length that left little margin for error. MHIA’s insurance operates similarly.
Every policy is tailored to match the distinctive structure and lifestyle of over 55 land lease homeowners and their homes, cabins or caravans. There’s no generic cover, no unnecessary extras, just precise, relevant protection.
That’s where the magic happens. Glenn’s bowling precision mirrors MHIA’s insurance precision, both achieved through expertise, consistency and understanding the game inside out.
Twenty years ago, in 2005, Glenn co-founded the McGrath Foundation with his late wife Jane after her devastating breast cancer diagnosis. Jane passed away in June 2008 at just 42 years of age leaving behind Glenn and their two small children.
Instead of stepping away, Glenn remained at the forefront of Jane’s legacy. He and his new wife, Sara, have stayed committed to carrying forward Jane’s vision, expanding the charity’s mission far beyond what many expected. He remains President and full-time volunteer, with the Foundation supporting over 150,000 families, funding hundreds of cancer care nurses across Australia.
Given the circumstances, it may have been easier to hand over leadership, perhaps to Jane’s best friend or other supporters, but Glenn chose to stay front and centre. That speaks volumes. He doesn’t associate his name with causes or brands lightly. He chooses with his heart and maintains integrity in everything he does.
That same integrity underpins this ambassadorship. Glenn supports only causes he believes in and is known for doing things because he cares, not for commercial gain. Right now, Glenn sits on boards, coaches cricket at Chennai’s MRF Pace Foundation and serves as ambassador for other brands.
If you’re living in a land lease community, you already know that it’s a little different from traditional homeownership. You own your home but lease the land, and that comes with specific risks and responsibilities. This means that a standard policy might not give you the protection you need.
You need cover that understands your living circumstances, not just in theory but in product and service.
That’s why MHIA exists. Insurance made for people like you with:
With Glenn on board, it becomes clear that our values align with someone Australians have respected for decades. Someone who does things properly, ethically and with heart.
In 2025, we remain even more committed to spreading the message that land lease homeowners deserve cover that’s tailored, reliable and easy to understand.
