Frequently asked questions

We can all do with some extra navigational help from time to time – here’s answers to some of our traveller’s frequently asked questions. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Read the PDS or contact us.

Can nib cover my existing medical condition?

Yes, we can offer automatic cover for more than 40 existing medical conditions, provided that you satisfy the criteria for that condition. If your condition is not automatically covered, you can apply for cover before or at the time you buy your policy. In many cases, we expect we'll be able to offer you cover for your existing medical condition for an additional premium.

Can I purchase a policy if I'm already travelling overseas?

Yes, you can purchase a policy after leaving your home in Australia, however there is a 72-hour waiting period for all policies purchased while travelling. If you purchase while you're travelling, you must purchase cover up to the date you will return to your home in Australia – we can't cover you for the middle of a trip.

How do I make a claim?

Need to make a claim? To submit a claim online simply follow the below instructions:

Make a new claim by logging in to your existing account or create an account
Tell us what happened and the expenses you're claiming.
Check your email for relevant supporting documents to upload.
Submit your claim and our team will be in contact.

What supporting information do I need to get for an overseas medical claim?

We may request evidence supporting your claim such as clinical notes or a written medical report or summary from your treating doctor or dentist overseas which clearly explains the medical condition, the diagnosis provided, medical tests requested, and treatment given. We may also require a medical certificate from your local GP, specialist or dentist. Try to obtain as much documentation as possible at the time of the event, as it can be difficult to obtain some documents once you return to Australia.

What should I do if my flight is delayed or cancelled?

As a nib customer the first thing to be aware of is that a travel delay must be at least six hours to meet the criteria for all nib policies. If you know you’ll be stuck at the airport for more than six hours you should contact the airline carrier or tour operator in the first instance to seek a refund, credit, or some form of financial compensation or arrangement specific to your needs. For more information on coverage, and other relevant information check out our article - What should I do if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
