nib health funds

nib is a leading financier and facilitator of healthcare spending with a reputation for innovative products, value for money, outstanding customer service, corporate social responsibility and strong shareholder returns.

Established 60 years ago, nib has now grown to be a truly national and international operation with our over 1,400 employees working in all parts of the globe.

nib’s core health insurance business is Australia’s fourth largest private health insurer and one of the industry’s fastest growing, while in New Zealand it is the second largest private health insurer. Today, nib provides health and medical insurance to more than one million Australian and New Zealand residents.

In 2007, nib became the first private health insurance fund to list on the Australian Securities Exchange, which provided the platform for the company’s diversification and expansion into new and diverse markets.

nib also provides private health insurance cover to over 100,000 international workers and students in Australia. In addition, we offer international health insurance cover providing medical and hospital treatment for Australians living overseas.

In July 2015, nib acquired leading travel insurer, World Nomads Group as part of the group’s strategy to diversify from its core health insurance business and to grow earnings in complementary markets.

nib also added corporate health insurance specialist, GU Health to the nib family in October 2017 to support our plans to increase our presence in the corporate group market.
