The Earners’ Account was established 1 July 1992 to cover the cost of non-work injuries to earners. The cost of non-work injuries occurring before this are met from the Residual Claims Account.
From 1 July 1999 to 31 March 2000 self-employed people could choose a private insurer for work and non-work accidents. About 95% of self-employed people chose to stay with ACC. Non-work injuries to this group were not covered by ACC.
