ACC Accredited Employers Programme
The ACC Accredited Employers Programme enables companies to take over management of their workplace injuries from ACC. Instead of retaining the expertise in-house to achieve this, Wellnz can handle all the day-to-day case management of every injury while at the same time save you significant money.
The ACC Accredited Employers Programme costs less because you only pay for the treatment and rehabilitation of whatever actual injuries occur, rather than a larger premium to cover a theoretical maximum of injuries. Any company paying $150,000 or more in ACC premiums could be eligible to join the ACC Accredited Employers Programme.
