We've teamed up with nib to provide $1 million in funding to help support our community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of nib Group's COVID-19 support package, we wanted to ensure communities across Australia and New Zealand are supported during what is a difficult and uncertain time for many.
Now is a more important time than ever to help protect the health and wellbeing of our community and this $1 million commitment aims to do just this, by supporting charitable initiatives dedicated to assisting those most in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Importantly, this COVID-19 commitment, jointly funded through nib foundation and nib, will be in addition to the $1.75 million invested in community health initiatives each year through nib foundation's usual grants and programs.
nib foundation also remains in complete support of our current partners, all of whom we are in regular contact with to discuss how we can best support their important work during this crisis and beyond, through a flexible approach to our funding agreements.
We'll be announcing our new COVID-19 response partnerships soon, however in the meantime if you'd like to find out more about nib's member support package, visit: nib.com.au/covid19, opens in a new tab.
