This form is the first step in getting help from ACC if you've been injured in accident. ACC does not cover illness or a medical condition or conditions resulting from age degeneration.

ACC is here to help when you've suffered an injury. Once cover has been established (that means that you have an injury with ACC has accepted) we'll help towards the cost of your initial medical treatment, including GP costs, X-rays, physiotherapy, etc. This means it's important that all the information on this Injury Claim Form (ACC46) is accurate to make sure that you receive the right treatment and payments for this claim.
