Accident Compensation Act 2001

Disestablishment of Accident Compensation Appeal Authority

Schedule 5: Provisions relating to Corporation

You could also call this:

“Rules about how ACC works and what it can do”

The Accident Compensation Act 2001 has a schedule called ‘Provisions relating to Corporation’. This schedule used to have many rules about how the Corporation works, but most of these have been removed. The rules that were removed covered things like how the chairperson and members were chosen, how meetings were run, and how decisions were made.

Now, there are only a few rules left in this schedule. One rule says that the Board must choose a chief executive for the Corporation after talking to the Minister. The chief executive can’t be a member of the Board. Another rule says that the Corporation must make sure all its employees behave properly and care about what’s good for the public.

The schedule also says that the Corporation can let other people do some of its work without getting permission from the Minister first. This is different from some other government organisations that do need to get permission.
