Health Insurance for Permanent Residents 

Congratulations on your decision to stay in Australia as a permanent resident. We think you’ve made a great choice! Now that you’ve decided to stay you will also need to change your health insurance as Overseas Visitors Health Cover is not suitable for permanent residents.

nib health funds is an Australian registered health fund and can provide the health insurance you now require as a permanent resident of Australia.

We even offer 'continuity of cover' to people who had eligible health insurance as temporary residents. If you hold or have recently held Overseas Visitor Health Cover, nib may be able to recognise your previous cover (including the waiting periods you have served) and take into account to determine your benefit entitlements when you join nib.
