One year of nib Covid-19 support for members and community

Released last April, the package provided access to a range of initiatives to support members' health and financial needs during the crisis.

More than $870,000 was provided in financial assistance in the form of premium waivers and suspensions, helping over 2000 nib members maintain their health cover.

Around 2500 members were also automatically granted a six-month pre-approval extension for any medical treatment delays they may have experienced.
