If we cover your injury we can help with payment if you can't work, have a permanent injury, move overseas, or if someone has died from an injury.

We'd like your feedback

Take part in the activity

Getting weekly compensation

We’ll pay up to 80% of your income as weekly compensation if you’re unable to work or do your usual duties because of your injury.

Getting back to work after an injury

We're part of the team supporting you to recover at work. Or if your injury is more serious, we can help you get into a different way of working.

Keep getting payments if you move overseas

You can still get ACC weekly compensation payments when you move overseas. You’ll need to keep up your rehabilitation and sort out a few things before you leave

Financial support if you have a permanent injury

If ACC covers your life-long injury, we may be able to give you financial support as a one-off or an ongoing payment.

Financial support if someone has died from an injury

When someone close to you dies from an injury ACC covers, we may be able to give you financial support.
