MyACC has five main sections, which you can access through the Menu:

- what's coming up next in your claim
- any actions you need to take
- review actions that have happened

- a link to read your rights and responsibilities for receiving help from us and to confirm you understand these
- weekly compensation payments (if you are eligible)

-
Profile | Kahua
This is where you can change your personal and contact information and let us know how you’d prefer us to contact you. It’s important to keep your details updated so we can contact you during your recovery.
Weekly compensation
Apply for weekly compensation if you can't work
If you’re injured and can’t do your usual job, you may be able to apply to get weekly compensation. This is financial support that helps replace part of your income, so you’ll still get paid while you recover.
To apply for weekly compensation in MyACC click the “Apply now” button on your Home screen or got to the support section.
You won't be able to apply using MyACC if you've already got an application in progress, or if you've had weekly compensation for the same claim before.
View your weekly compensation payments
If you're getting weekly compensation, you can see information about your payments in MyACC on your Home screen.
If you want to see more information, click “view my weekly compensation details” or go to the Support section.
Returning to work
You must tell us if you work or earn income while receiving weekly compensation to avoid overpayment.
MyACC is the easiest way to tell us.
If your medical certificate says you're able to do some work, you'll see a notification on your Home screen each Monday asking you to send us your work hours for the week. You'll only submit your hours to us once a week, but you can add your hours each day and save your application to submit at the end of the week.
Medical certificates
Uploading a new medical certificate
If your health provider has given you a medical certificate, upload this into MyACC—using MyACC to do this taskis faster than if you email or post it to us.
If your current medical certificate is about to expire, you'll see an alert on your Home screen on the date of expiry. Upload a copy of your new medical certificate by clicking “upload a new medical certificate”.
If we've received a new medical certificate from you or your health provider and we're still processing it, you'll see a message on your Home screen — this means you don't need to contact us. Once we've processed your medical certificate you'll see the new expiry date in MyACC.
Applying for other support
You can use MyACC to apply for support to help with your recovery.
Go to the Support section and select the type of support you need.
It can take a few working days to process a support request. Your MyACC will show all in-progress requests.
This is where you can find information about, and apply for, weekly compensation.
We may be able to reimburse you for some medical expenses. This includes prescription reimbursements and other various medical, health and treatment costs.
If you need to travel for treatment, rehabilitation or to work, we may be able to reimburse you for some of the costs. This includes private car and taxi travel.
If your injury is making it hard for you to do things you'd normally do around the house, like tidying up, cleaning, or preparing meals, we may be able to organise someone to come to your house to help.
If your injury is making it hard for you to do things around home, we may be able to provide some equipment to help. These can include special chairs and stools, and equipment to help in the kitchen. We may also be able to organise someone to come to your house to help you with personal care.
If your injury is making it hard for you to communicate, we may be able to help.
You may be eligible for rongoā Māori (traditional Māori healing) as part of your rehabilitation.
Keep your details up to date
You can use MyACC to make sure we’ve got the right information about you and your injury. This includes your contact details and communication preferences.
Request a pre-employment check
A pre-employment check is a report of your ACC claims history that is sent to your employer. If you’ve been asked to provide an ACC pre-employment check you can request this using MyACC. Once you’re logged in, navigate to the Injuries section to find the pre-employment check request.
