ACC Subsidised Physiotherapy: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access reduced-cost physiotherapy for work-related injuries covered by the Accident Compensation Corporation.
This scheme provides financial assistance to help cover the cost of physiotherapy treatments for people recovering from specific injuries.
Who it's for
This support is available to anyone who has an injury that is covered by ACC. If your injury meets the requirements for coverage, you may be eligible for these benefits.
What you get
The benefit is a reduced cost for physiotherapy treatment. This support is specifically designed to assist with the costs of physio for injuries that are work-related, helping to make rehabilitation more affordable.
What it costs you
While the scheme reduces the overall cost of your treatment, it is not entirely free. You will be responsible for paying a small co-pay for each session you attend.
The catch to know
To access the subsidy, you cannot simply show up to an appointment; you must have an active ACC claim number. This number is essential to qualify for the reduced rates, so ensure your injury is registered before you begin your sessions.
How to apply
- Seek medical attention for your injury.
- Confirm that your injury is covered under ACC.
- Obtain your ACC claim number from your GP or your clinic.
- Provide your claim number to the physiotherapy provider to receive the subsidy.
