FICA welcomes the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes across numerous ACC accounts including the work, earner and motor vehicle.
Our submission is primarily focused on the impact to the employer whilst keeping a balance with the needs for the employee and the wider New Zealand audience. Our submission also responds to the specific ACC (and the Minister’s) recommendations as well as wider input on a range of factors that impact employers and will allow ACC to be more functional, efficient and effective.
We have taken the position to provide ACC solutions to consider achieving stated aims. These have been noted throughout the submission and referenced accordingly.
It would be beneficial for ACC to align its narrative to support this notion. Understanding and managing risk will lead to less claims and less onus on the ACC scheme.
