ACC sponsors a small number of events and initiatives that we seek out ourselves to help achieve our organisational goals. Some of our sponsorships are described on this page.
Why does ACC sponsor
ACC has two key roles – to help prevent injuries, and to help people who’ve been injured get back to everyday life.
To do these jobs well, we need to make sure people are well informed about the things they can do to stay safe, and what help they can get from ACC if they do get injured.
Sponsorships are one way we can share these important messages. ACC sponsors only a small number of events. These sponsorships are carefully chosen by us to address ACC’s strategic objectives and we seek them out directly with the organisations concerned. We do not generally accept ad-hoc or unsolicited requests for sponsorship.
ACC sponsorships
Attitude Awards
The Attitude Awards honour the outstanding achievements of New Zealanders who have disabilities. The finalists are inspirational and remind us of the valuable contributions that are made by people living with a disability – whether it be economic, sporting, cultural or in any other area.
ACC is committed to helping people back to as independent a life as possible following an injury and employment can be a huge part of that. ACC is thus very proud to sponsor the Attitude ACC Employer Award, as well as the Attitude ACC Supreme Award. The Attitude ACC Employer Award will be awarded to an organisation that demonstrates an exemplary level of support, commitment and innovation throughout their organisation with regard to disabled employees.
Royal New Zealand College of GPs Conference
The Royal New Zealand College of GPs Conference is a key event for New Zealand’s General Practitioners. The conference provides an opportunity for GPs to learn new skills, update established ones, hear from experts and leaders in primary care, and share knowledge. ACC is pleased to be able to support the conference and to have the opportunity to share our own research and learnings, promote the assistance and support that ACC provides, and improve the overall service that ACC offers to New Zealanders.
Business Excellence Awards
As well as helping people who’ve been injured get the treatment and rehabilitation they need, one of ACC’s main goals is to prevent injury in the first place. ACC sponsors the ‘Workplace Safety Award’ at the annual, regional, Business Excellence Awards. The award recognises and celebrates those important people and organisations who are leading the way in managing hazards and preventing accidents in their own workplace, thus helping to reduce the personal and social costs of injury.
