Review application - ACC33
How to request a review of your claim or levy
Apply for a decision review
If you disagree with a decision we have made about your claim, you can apply for a formal, independent review. To do this, you’ll need to complete and submit the ACC33 form (Application for review).
What happens when you apply for a review?
Once you submit your ACC33 form:
- We will try to resolve the issue with you early in the process.
- If no agreement is reached, an independent reviewer (not employed by ACC) will be assigned.
- The reviewer will organise a review hearing, which may be held in person, online, or over the phone. During the hearing, the reviewer considers:
- All the information related to your case
- Relevant ACC legislation
- Written submissions from both you and ACC
After the hearing, the reviewer will issue a decision. They may rule in your favour or in favour of ACC.
Other options before applying
If a formal review doesn’t feel right for your situation, you may wish to consider these alternative. These options may help resolve your concerns without a formal review.

How to complete the ACC33 form
You need to complete a separate form for each review you want to apply for.
What you’ll need:
-
Details of the ACC decision you're reviewing
-
Your reasons for disputing the decision
-
Any supporting information you want to include
Completing the form takes about 10 minutes, depending on how much detail you provide.
Note: This online form cannot be saved, so we recommend having all your information ready before you start.
Time limits for review applications
You must apply for a review within 3 months of the date on your ACC decision letter.
We may accept late applications in some situations — for example, if something outside your control stopped you from applying in time. You can explain your reason in the form.
Note: We can't extend the deadline for levy-related reviews or applications where the applicant is an employer
