nib New Zealand

Our purpose is your better health. We’re here to help Kiwis and their families live healthier, happier lives, and to help local businesses who want to protect their employees. We do this by offering insurance that’s easy to use and affordable while also helping connect our members to the right tools and services to improve their health and wellbeing.

Our New Zealand business is part of the nib Group - a trusted international health partner that provides health insurance to over 1.4 million Australian and New Zealand residents. We began partnering with Kiwis after nib Group acquired Tower Medical Insurance Limited in 2012 and went on to acquire the OnePath medical business in 2015.

In 2018 we launched a first of its kind Māori population health initiative with Auckland iwi, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, which provides private health insurance and health management programmes for their members. nib’s Kaiarāhi (health navigators) work with iwi members on finding the right health options that work for them.

In 2022 we acquired Kiwi Insurance Limited which allows us to provide greater value to our members by giving them access to a suite of life and living insurance covers, in addition to health cover.

Our sustainability vision is to play a meaningful role in maintaining good health and improving health and related outcomes for people and their communities, especially in reducing gaps in access to care and outcomes within discrete communities.

We also recognise the influence of a wide range of social, economic and environmental factors and the role we can play, however modest, in aligning these with our purpose. They include a sense of acceptance and inclusion, meaningful employment and economic security, as well as a clean and sustainable natural environment.
