Why Nurses & Midwives Health?
We’re for the carers
As the health insurance for nurses, midwives and their families, you’re at the heart of everything we do.
We’re for members, not profit
Being not-for-profit, we’re all about giving more back to members (not payouts to shareholders).
We’re for care when you need it
As a private patient you can choose your doctor and avoid long public hospital waits (phew!).
We’re here for good
We’re part of Teachers Health, Australia’s largest industry health fund with over 65 years’ experience.
Cover your (big!) kids at no extra cost
We let single kids stay on your cover till they turn 32! So you can cover them at no extra cost (if they're studying) or for less than than they'd pay otherwise (if they're working).
