At Melbourne Capital Group, we plan for the worst and hope for the best.
Normal life insurance policies don’t take into account the unique circumstances that arise when you live overseas. International life insurance safeguards you and your family’s future in case of an unexpected life event, no matter where you are in the world. We know that life doesn’t always go according to plan, which is why proper preparation and extensive insurance coverage are vital.
Do I need International Life Insurance?
If you have a family or people that rely on you financially, international life insurance can provide financial security should the worst happen to you anywhere in the world. The payout from an international life insurance policy can help to pay off a mortgage or cover the costs of university for your children. Whatever the reason, international life insurance provides you with the peace of mind that your family is taken care of, no matter what and no matter where.
International Life
Insurance Benefits
Insurance is a highly personal experience.
Individual and family wellbeing are important aspects of our lives which require sensitivity and expertise. Our specialists can help you find policies which suit the needs of you and your family.
Early Terminal
Illness Coverage
If you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, early terminal illness coverage offers you the choice to receive your payout before you pass away. This gives you the freedom to arrange your affairs and spend time and special moments with your loved ones.
Peace of Mind
When you purchase international life insurance, you are securing peace of mind. When you work with Melbourne Capital Group, you can rest assured that we will arrange a well-structured insurance policy that ensures your claim will be handled with ease and issued in a strong currency such as U.S. Dollars, Euro or Pound Sterling.
Global Coverage
Normal life insurance does not provide global coverage, which can be an issue for those who spend a lot of time overseas. That’s why we specialise in international life insurance. Ensure that your insurance policy is claimable, no matter where you choose to live or work in the world.
Protection
International life insurance is the ultimate protection for your family, offering financial stability even when you’re no longer around to provide. Correct and broad insurance coverage secures your family’s financial future, no matter what.
Should I take out Term Life Insurance
or Whole Life Insurance?
When you begin researching international life insurance and life insurance planning, you will see that there are two main types of cover.
Term Life Insurance
Let’s say you pay off your mortgage and your children become financially stable within the ten years of your term life insurance policy and you haven’t needed to claim. In this scenario, you would have the freedom to reduce your cover amount for the next ten years to reflect this.
Whole Life Insurance
Whether or not you decide to take out term life insurance or whole life insurance will depend on your personal circumstances and requirements. Whilst term life insurance can work out to be more economical, individuals who are particularly worried about their health and fear they may be ineligible for coverage in later life may choose the peace of mind of whole life insurance.
Everything starts with a conversation.

Health Insurance
