    Who can use MyACC?

    Anyone with an approved claim who needs support from us can register for MyACC. There are some exceptions to this.

    You are not able to register for MyACC if:

    • your claim was lodged before 2007. This is because MyACC is not able to show claims before this time
    • you are under 16 years old
    • you are acting on behalf of an injured person, for example a parent, guardian, advocate or authorised person.

    If your employer uses a third-party to manage ACC claims, you may not be able to access MyACC. Find out if your employer uses an external administrator and contact them directly to talk about using MyACC.
