Let’s talk about nib Thrive
nib’s vision is better health and wellbeing for all Australians. We know there are few greater opportunities for us to have a meaningful social impact than in keeping people healthy, and now, in supporting people with disabilities. We plan to do this through innovative, human and digital solutions to make a difference to people who seek convenience, accessibility and inclusion.
nib Thrive is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) business for the nib Group. In November 2022, nib acquired its first registered NDIS Plan Manager, since then we have continued to grow. We are now House of Brands who all operate as part of the nib Thrive family. nib Thrive currently supports more than 39,000 NDIS participants and is on track to reach its goal of supporting at least 50,000 participants by FY25. nib Thrive is currently one of the top three largest plan managers in Australia.
