What

We think that the time is right to develop our thinking on how our world-leading ACC scheme might be reformed and broadened, and the ACC Futures Coalition is hosting a ‘Futures Forum’ to address the current ACC scheme and its suitability for the challenges of the 21st century. 

The forum will feature presenters from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives to discuss ACC, its merits and its shortcomings, including:

• Minister for ACC, the Hon. Carmel Sepuloni
• Len Cook: ACC in the context of the neo-liberal revolution
• Hazel Armstrong: The immediate changes that are needed
• Dr. Dianne Wepa: Addressing inequality in ACC – the case of Maaori
• Dr. Huhana Hickey: How ACC fails the disability community
• Prof. Richard Madden: Lessons from Australia

This will lead into an afternoon full of interactive workshops on a wide range of components of Accident compensation.

The full programme can be found here.
