Nib OSHC and OVHC

nib has been operating since 1952 and is now the 4th largest health insurer in Australia. Unlike many providers that have expanded into unrelated industries, nib has stayed focused on health and life insurance only. They currently cover around 190,000 international students and workers in Australia, making them one of the most established names in this space.

What makes nib different from the rest of the providers in KONPARE is that they cover both Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for students on subclass 500 visas, and Overseas Visitors Health Cover (OVHC) for temporary visa holders such as 482 and 485. Partners can issue the right product based on the client’s visa type from the same screen, without juggling two separate insurers for student and skilled-worker portfolios.

Why Choose The Service

Around 190,000 international students and workers currently covered.

24/7 medical support hotline with on-campus support for students and telehealth for OVHC members.

All eligible dependants listed on the visa are covered, with single and family options.

Focused only on health and life insurance, not diversified into unrelated sectors.

What Did We Do

We connected nib’s OSHC and OVHC systems into the KONPARE platform so partners can issue both student and visitor cover from one screen. Live pricing reflects the visa type, cover length, single or family setup, and dependants. Payment clears, certificate is emailed within seconds, and the policy is ready to attach to the visa application.

Because nib runs both product lines, partners working with mixed client portfolios (students plus skilled workers on 482 or 485 visas) can stay inside one provider workflow instead of switching between insurers.
