Accident and injury compensation (ACC) – the basics
01 October 2025
ACC makes it easier to support your people when injuries happen.
- Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) is New Zealand’s statutory insurer for any injuries caused by accident. It makes things simple by providing comprehensive accident compensation cover to everyone.
- ACC covers all accidental injuries for medical care and loss of wages.
- If any of your members or volunteers are injured while participating in club activities, their medical expenses are covered. As their injury did not happen at work they will not get their first week's wages, but will receive up to 80% of their wages after the first week if they cannot work because of the injury.
