About the ACC Futures Coalition
The ACC Futures Coalition is a group of health providers, ACC consumers, academics and unions campaigning to maintain and improve ACC and keep it publically owned.
We were set up in 2009 after attacks of the scheme and signals from the government to privatise various ACC accounts and open these to competition.
Our aim is to build cross-party support for retaining the status of ACC as a publicly-owned single provider committed to the ‘Woodhouse Principles’, with a view to maintaining and improving the provision of injury prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and ‘no fault’ compensation social insurance system for all New Zealanders.
