Who we are
Video transcript for Who we are
Since 1974, ACC has been here to support New Zealanders.
We help people recover from injuries so they can get back to work, independence, and everyday life.
Everyone in Aotearoa New Zealand is covered by our no-fault scheme.
That means if you're injured in an accident,
we're here to ensure you get the care you need.
Accidents can happen anywhere - at home, at work, on the road, or during sport.
No matter how they happen, we offer the support you need to return to work or independence.
That might include covering medical and treatment costs, help around the home,
support to return to work, or up to 80% of your usual income if you can't work due to your injury.
We also help fund emergency services like ambulances and rescue helicopters,
so lifesaving support is there when every second counts.
Our support is set by legislation.
This means we can accept claims caused by accidents, but not usually those caused by illness.
In addition to recovery - we also work to prevent injuries.
We partner with communities and organisations to help keep people safe across Aotearoa New Zealand.
ACC is one of the only schemes like it in the world.
We're here to support you so you can focus on what matters most:
recovering well and getting back to what's important to you.
