ACC and injury compensation

New Zealand's accident compensation scheme provides personal insurance cover for work and non-work injuries. If you're an employer the law requires you to provide work-related injury cover for all your employees and a safe workplace. If you're self-employed you're responsible for providing your own personal injury cover - for both work and non-work injuries. This is an introduction to ACC and injury compensation.
