    What is ACC annual scheme access reporting?

    In 2023, an amendment to the Accident Compensation Act introduced a new requirement for ACC to report annually on levels of access to the Accident Compensation scheme by Māori and other identified population groups. These group are Pacific people, Asian people and disabled people. The reports will include information on levels of access, disparities in access, barriers to access and causes of the barriers and disparities.
