Overview of ACC

Overview of ACC

Our job is to support you if you’ve been injured, by helping you get back to work and everyday life as quickly as possible. We also work with businesses and the community, to try to stop injuries from happening in the first place. Anyone in New Zealand can apply for help from us, even if you’re just visiting here from overseas. Because of the support available through ACC, you can’t sue for personal injury in New Zealand, except for exemplary damages.
