ACC

The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) is a government organisation in New Zealand that provides comprehensive, no-fault personal injury cover for all residents and visitors.

Established in 1974, ACC's primary role is to prevent injuries, provide care and support for those injured, and help them return to work or everyday life as quickly as possible. It covers a wide range of injuries, from accidents at work, home, or on the road, to injuries resulting from medical treatment.

ACC is funded through levies, including the Earners' Levy, which is paid by employed and self-employed individuals. This unique system aims to reduce the financial impact of injuries on individuals and the community, promoting a safer and more resilient society.
