1. Reviewing the Present Scheme

• Conduct a full stock-take of the various components of the ACC scheme.
• Evaluate progress to full funding.
• Identify areas of cross-subsidy or cost-shifting, and underfunding of newly-legislated entitlements.

2. Introducing Competition and Choice

Investigate opening the Work Account (covering employees and the self-employed at work) to competition. Any changes will be made carefully after full evaluation of the benefits.

3. Improving Dispute Resolution

Investigate the introduction of an independent disputes tribunal to end ACC’s dual role of judge and jury on disputed claims.
