As a support group for injured people, Acclaim Otago is concerned that there is very little in the way of current and independent data available that accurately describes aspects of an injured person’s experience with ACC.
Acclaim Otago’s president, Dr Denise Powell says, “This is especially obvious when talking about rehabilitation and Vocational Independence. We are hearing anecdotally, that people are being exited from ACC without first receiving meaningful rehabilitation”.
ACC has recently said that “rehabilitation always comes first” but Dr Powell says “We have no simple way of finding out if this is correct or not. ACC does not currently keep data that identifies what happens once a person exits the scheme and we believe that is a huge gap. This survey aims to find out what happens to people who are clients of ACC.”
“We hope to use the survey results to make recommendations that will substantially improve the experience of injured people in New Zealand. We believe any improvements we can identify to the scheme will benefit not just the ACC and their clients, but potentially generations of New Zealanders to come” Dr Powell states.
This survey is for all users of the Like Minds website and will be compared to previous survey results to evaluate how effective the site is and what needs to be updated.

This notice relates to a survey for ACC Sensitive Claims Providers (“Counsellors”) and clients.
The last step of the Independent Clinical Review of the ACC Sensitive Claims Treatment Pathway is nearly upon us, namely the 18 month follow up review. As part of that process representatives of the various professional bodies will be meeting with Barbara Disley, the review’s lead author in late March to discuss how ACC are going with implementing the changes mandated in the initial review report.
As part of his role as the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists (NZAP) representative Kyle MacDonald is circulating a survey open to all Sensitive Claims treatment providers and clients. All individual responses are anonymous, and it will only take about 5 – 10 minutes of your time.
See this link for the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VVXGXXS
Please take the time to complete this survey, your responses are important and it will be the last chance we all have to give feedback to ACC before the review is officially completed.
The survey will be closed midnight on Friday March the 9th.
