A Crown entity providing comprehensive no-fault accident compensation and rehabilitation for all New Zealanders and visitors to New Zealand established by the Accident Compensation Act 1972. In return, the right of accident victims to sue for damages was abolished.
The concept of accident compensation originated in the 1967 report of a Royal Commission chaired by Justice Owen Woodhouse, which was established to examine the question of compensation for personal injury. Initially, entitlements were intended to be available only to those in employment, but in 1973 the government expanded it to cover all accidentsautomobile, domestic, industrial, and sportingregardless of how the injuries occurred. The scheme includes compensation for permanent physical disability and an earnings-related benefit for accident victims.
ACC is a form of compulsory insurance by which the community as a whole accepts responsibility for accidents to some of its members. Initially funded through contributions of employers and self-employed, annual motor-vehicle licensing levies, and an excise levy on gas, the scheme was amended in 1992 to place greater emphasis on accident prevention, risk management, and rehabilitation of those injured. In addition, the funding base was broadened to include an earners levy paid by all employed people. Monopoly rights, removed by a National government in 1998, were restored by the Labour-led government in 2000. Labour also reintroduced lump-sum payments for injuries involving permanent impairment, extended cover to people with mental injuries arising from sexual abuse who had not previously been covered (and also expanded coverage to those experiencing mental trauma at work rather than through sexual abuse), and removed certain barriers to ACC cover for work-related gradual process diseases and infections. The most recent round of reforms, brought in by the National-led government in 2010, were expressly intended to help contain the rising costs of the scheme.
