    We have temporarily reduced some functionality, introduced additional identity checks and restricted access for a small number of clients. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.

    Existing users

    We limited the access to MyACC for some accounts while we work to get MyACC fully up and running. Some MyACC accounts have been locked as we need to make some extra checks.

    In the meantime, if you are an existing MyACC user and are unable to log in, please contact us and we will look into it getting your account unlocked.

    You can still get support and services from us by using the relevant forms below. 

    Requesting support

    Covering my income if I can’t work

    We’ll pay up to 80% of your income as weekly compensation if you can’t work or perform all your usual work activities because of an injury we're covering. This means you'll still get paid while you recover.

    If you’re unable to use MyACC, contact your recovery team or our contact centre to get set up for weekly compensation.

    Phone 0800 101 996

    Travel and prescription reimbursements

    If we cover your injury we may be able to contribute to expenses when you travel for treatment. We can also help with costs toward treatment and prescriptions for your injury.
