What is ACC and how do I get Physio covered?
The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) is New Zealand’s no-fault injury cover system. It provides financial support for treatment and rehabilitation after an injury has occured from an accidents, helping Kiwis get back to their normal activities as quickly and safely as possible.

ACC provides financial support and partial coverage of physiotherapy sessions following an injury. This injury must have occured from an accident.
These injuries can include:

- Road Traffic Accidents (e.g., whiplash, fractures, soft tissue injuries)
If your injury is caused by an accident, ACC will subsidise your physiotherapy treatments, reducing the cost for you.
