Levy consultation begins this month
We will shortly begin consultation with levy payers on proposed changes to levy rates and other related proposals.
Levy rates allow New Zealanders to benefit from a world class scheme. Each year we receive almost two million new claims and spend around $7 billion in medical treatment, rehabilitation support and weekly compensation.
It’s important that the amount paid by levy payers reflects the level of risk, while also ensuring we’re collecting enough to cover the cost of future injuries. We review levies every three years, on behalf of the Minister for ACC, and propose changes to make sure we have the balance right and to ensure the Scheme remains sustainable.
After consideration of the feedback that we receive through consultation, we make recommendations to the Minister. The Government then sets the levy rates for the next three years.
Consultation will open on Wednesday 11 September and close on Wednesday 9 October 2024.
More information on the proposed levy rates and system changes will be available on www.ShapeYourACC.co.nz from Wednesday 11 September.
