Talking Land Lease With Glenn McGrath: A Q and A

Wondering what Glenn McGrath thinks of MHIA? We recently sat down with the Australian cricket legend to talk about land lease communities, over 50s living, and why he chose to partner with MHIA, a trusted provider of home insurance for land lease and manufactured home residents. In this Q&A, Glenn shares what drew him to MHIA, what he’s learned about the retirement lifestyle, and why supporting community-focused living matters more than ever.

1. What inspired you to partner with MHIA as a brand ambassador?

   I was drawn to MHIA because they genuinely care about the people they support. They’re not just selling insurance - they’re part of the community, and that’s something I respect deeply.

2. How do you see your personal values (like resilience, trust, and community) aligning with MHIA’s approach to supporting its customers?

   Those values have shaped my career and life, and I see them in how MHIA operates every day. They back their customers when it matters and do it with integrity and heart.

3. You’ve spent time meeting MHIA customers. Tell us what stood out to you most about the people living in land lease communities?

   What struck me was the strong sense of connection—people really look out for each other. It’s a tight-knit environment full of resilience and warmth.

4. MHIA focuses on providing real support when it matters most, especially during claims. Why do you think that kind of personal service is so important today?

   With the world becoming more automated and digital, human support makes all the difference. When something goes wrong, you want to speak to someone who understands and acts quickly.

5. As someone who’s dedicated much of your life to community causes, what do you admire about MHIA’s commitment to supporting over-55 Australians in unique housing situations?

   I admire their genuine focus on people. They understand the unique needs of their clients and have built a product to best serve their needs and go out of their way to make life easier, safer, and more secure for them.

6. What do you think makes MHIA different from other insurance providers?

   It’s the personal touch. They know their customers by name, not just by a policy number. That kind of relationship is rare.

7. You’ve been part of some very honest conversations with MHIA staff and customers. What have those moments taught you about us as a company?

   Those conversations showed me how much MHIA listens. They genuinely want to improve and make a difference - and that says a lot about who they are.

8. Trust is a big part of both sport and insurance. Why do you think trust is such a powerful part of MHIA’s relationship with its customers?

   Trust is everything - it’s earned through consistency and honesty. MHIA has built that trust by always showing up for their customers when it matters.

9. What advice would you give to Australians over 55 looking for the right kind of insurance for a land lease home?

   Look for a provider who understands your unique lifestyle and insurance needs. MHIA does exactly that.

10. Finally, what’s your message to MHIA customers and the communities they live in?

    To everyone in the MHIA community - thank you for welcoming me in. You’ve created something special, and I’m honoured to support a company that stands by you.
