Eligibility for Publicly Funded Health and Disability Services

Accident Cover


This includes having to go to a hospital as a result of an accident.

The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) is a Government agency that provides 24-hour, no-fault personal accident cover for New Zealanders, New Zealand residents who are temporarily overseas, and visitors to New Zealand.

If you visit an approved health care professional such as a GP for treatment for a personal injury, you may still be asked to pay part of the treatment cost yourself.

For more information visit the Accident Compensation Corporation website.
