ACC Farm Safety Cover: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how ACC Farm Safety Cover provides no-fault personal injury coverage for all workers in New Zealand.
This scheme provides personal injury coverage for workers in New Zealand, ensuring that people can receive support regardless of how an accident occurs.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for all workers located in New Zealand. Whether you work on a farm or in another sector, the coverage is intended to protect people working within the country.
What you get
You get no-fault personal injury coverage. This is a significant benefit because it means the coverage applies regardless of who was at fault when an accident happened. This protection is intended to provide a safety net for those who suffer accidental injuries while working.
What it costs you
The scheme does not require a direct, upfront payment from you at the time of an accident. Instead, the cost is handled through levies that are paid through your income tax. This ensures that the funding for injury cover is integrated into the standard tax system.
The catch to know
It is important to understand the specific limits of this coverage. The scheme is designed specifically for accidental injury. This means it does not cover illnesses. If you become unwell, this particular scheme is not the source of coverage; it is strictly for physical injuries caused by an accident.
