Accident Compensation Act 2001

Code of ACC Claimants' Rights, and claims - Decisions on cover and entitlements

66: Corporation must keep claims files

You could also call this:

“ACC must save your claim information for a long time”

The law says that the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) has to keep records of all claims. When you make a claim, ACC creates a file for it. They must keep this file for at least 10 years after they last did anything with your claim. This means that even after your claim is settled or closed, ACC will still have a record of it for a long time. This rule helps make sure that information about claims is available if it’s needed in the future.
