Same-sex family health cover discrimination case
Nib rejected family health cover for a homosexual couple. In Hope & Brown v NIB, the court found that nib had breached the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977. The case helped establish that same-sex couples and their children could constitute a family for health insurance purposes. Nib's appeal application was dismissed by the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
