To understand ACC, we need to understand how healthcare works in Aotearoa New Zealand. As a country, we fund healthcare differently to others. When someone gets injured as a result of an accident, they can come to us, the Accident Compensation Corporation, or ACC, for support. That support can come in many forms and will depend on what our clients need to get back to independence. It could be treatment, it could be weekly compensation, rehabilitation equipment, counselling for mental injury or help getting back to work.

Put simply, we provide comprehensive, no-fault injury cover for New Zealanders, as well as for our visitors. To do this, we partner with providers like you to deliver healthcare services to our clients. But our work doesn’t end there. We believe that up to 90 percent of all injury claims are preventable. That’s why we’re also focused on injury prevention to stop accidents happening in the first place.

Everyone in Aotearoa New Zealand is eligible for cover, meaning they can get the treatment and care that they need to recover from injury. We take a no-fault approach to accident cover, meaning it doesn't matter who you are or what you were doing when you were hurt. Even our visitors can get cover for treatment if they’re hurt in an accident here.

All New Zealanders contribute to keeping ACC running so we can keep caring for each other. We’re funded by different levies paid by motorists, businesses, and workers. We’re also partly government funded. We invest and grow that money to pay for the future costs of the scheme. That’s just a brief introduction about our mission and what we do at here ACC, but of course there’s plenty more to learn. It’s good to have you on this journey.
