USEFUL INFORMATION

Part of being a community focussed practice means we try to help put you in contact with the right organisations that will support your good health. Below is list of organisations that can help you do that. We also have a number of brochures at our practice that provide easy to understand information that you may find useful.

Getting Paid if You Can’t Work - ACC Entitlements

ACC will pay up to 80% of your income as weekly compensation if you’re unable to work because of an injury they are covering. This means you'll still get paid while you recover.

Check you're eligible for weekly compensation

To be eligible for weekly compensation, you need:

  • An injury we covering
    What injuries ACC cover

  • A medical certificate
    Your medical certificate needs to show you can’t work for more than seven days because of your injury.

  • To be employed
    You need to be an employee, self-employed or a shareholder-employee. This must be at the time of the accident and on the first day that your medical certificate shows you can't work.
