    Hopes a major new review of ACC will take a long-term view

    Hopes a major new review of ACC will take a long-term view


    ACC Minister Matt Doocey has ordered a six month review into the agency after it reported a 7.2 billion dollar deficit and a drop in the rehabilitation rates.

    Levies for earners and businesses set to increase five percent each year for the next three years.

    Lawyer and researcher Warren Forster says the scheme has been failing for years.

    He says the Government needs to look at how ACC can better get people back into work.
