Are you committed to bringing your best to life every day?
In 2025, MLC Life Insurance is embracing a new brand identity: Acenda.
Under this new brand, we’re taking our long-standing heritage into a new era, empowering a brighter future with security and confidence.
Our values-driven business strives for high performance and growth as we look towards the future. As part of the global Nippon Life Group, we will enhance our capabilities and further strengthen our enduring commitment to putting customers at the heart of everything we do. And to support our partners to do the same.
We believe that when people have the support, clarity, and confidence they need, they can do their best work and build a future they’re proud of. We encourage our people to take life on – inside and outside of work – to grow and make a real impact for our customers, partners, and each other.
The role
We have multiple permanent opportunities available for Customer Support Team Members to join our Melbourne based Customer Contact team. This rare-entry level role is well suited for those looking for an opportunity to kick-start their career in Financial Services.
Upon commencing, you will start with a group of new work mates where your first few weeks will be spent in an interactive learning environment understanding our products, processes, and systems to assist our customers with simple enquiries (taking payments, updating payment details and resending correspondence).
After this, you will move onto the Contact Centre floor where you’ll get the opportunity to meet and engage with the wider team. You be supported by our Coaches and Leaders as you begin to interact with our customers and clients over the phone and continue to develop your skills and gain confidence in your new role.
Within your first few months you will continue to receive training as you begin managing more complex customer queries. Over time, you will also help advisers with their enquiries about their customer's existing policies as well as assisting with and providing updates on new business applications.
As you continue to flourish in your role in your first year at MLC Life Insurance, we will provide you with further opportunities to upskill across various products, learn more about and connect with other areas of the business, and become a technical expert within the team.

Should an applicant be the preferred candidate, background checks (including Federal Police Checks, Employment checks, ASIC banned and disqualified persons and Bankruptcy checks) will be completed prior to the candidate's employment being confirmed. The outcomes of the background checks do not automatically bar candidates, however they will be assessed against the inherent requirements of the position.
