• Breakdown of top regional injury claims per team or individual sport activity for the years 2021 to 2024 ytd
• Caveats to this data

• A calendar year is 1 January to 31 December.
• Accredited employer claims have been excluded.
• 'New claims' have been counted by the date that we registered a claim. This can be immediately after the injury occurred or at any later stage.
• 'Active claims' are claims that generated a payment in the relevant calendar years. These claims were not necessarily registered, or had the accident occur, in the same calendar year.
• Cell suppression of claim counts fewer than 4 has been used. These show as "<4" to ensure client privacy, and other counts may show as ".." to ensure suppressed numbers cannot be calculated.
• Costs provided are exclusive of GST.
• Costs are based on payment date. Payment date may be different to the date of service.
• Costs do not include Public Health Acute Services (PHAS) payments. Treatment for covered claims in public hospitals is provided by an annual service agreement between ACC and the Ministry of Health, and is funded by bulk payments from ACC to the Crown.
• The calendar year in which the service was paid may differ to the calendar year in which the service was provided.
• A claim can cover multiple calendar years and a claim which lasts longer than one year is counted as 'active' once for each calendar year covered. For example, a claim which lasted from 2020 to 2022 would be counted a total of three times, once for each calendar year.
• Diagnosis is based on the client's primary injury. Claims may have multiple injuries; however, these secondary injuries will not show within this data extract.
• Location is based on where an accident took place and may differ to where a client was residing at the time.
• Data was extracted at a point in time and may differ if rerun at a later date. 

We have been made aware that there is an issue with some ACC data for March 2022. We are not aware of the full extent of this issue, however please note that claim counts and costs are subject to change.
