Annual Scheme Access Reporting
We recently conducted consultation on a new requirement to report annually on access to the Accident Compensation scheme for injured people.
The official consultation period is now closed, however if you would like to get in touch, please contact us at:

Our proposed approach
Our proposed approach to access reporting will also allow us to investigate other factors that may impact on people lodging a claim, for example, where they live, if they are experiencing material hardship, and any other relevant factors.
The objectives of ACC’s annual scheme access reports are to:
- improve focus on, and understanding of, how people with personal injuries are accessing, or not accessing, the Scheme, and
- increase transparency about levels of access to the Scheme, including any disparities in accessing the Scheme by different population groups.
What we learn as we write the reports will help us to identify gaps in access and develop an evidence-based approach to how we might best meet different people’s needs.
Before preparing the first report, we were required to consult on the methods we propose to use. The consultation period was held between February and April 2024. The consultation period has now closed.
- April to June 2024: Report drafted
- After 30 June 2024: Report provided to the Minister for ACC
- Annual Scheme access report presented to Parliament.
