Learn how to set up different levels of authority for your health insurance policy, ensuring that the right people can manage your cover when needed.
Each health cover has a nominated policyholder.
The policyholder is legally responsible for the policy, and anything we send will be addressed to them.
As a policyholder, you have the option to authorise someone to act on your behalf. You can decide how much of your information they can access and what actions they can take related to your health cover.
You can give or remove authority by contacting us.
Alternatively, you can complete an authority form (PDF), but this may take longer to process.
Currently, you cannot update authorities through your member account or the nib App, but we are working on adding this feature.
