A suggestion that ACC is at a crossroads

Minister Matt Doocey has announced a six-month review of the scheme after it reported a 7.2 billion dollar deficit and a drop in rehabilitation rates.

ACC researcher and lawyer Warren Forster says a long-term approach will be needed to get the agency back on track.

He says this review should be an opportunity for reflection.

Forster says Doocey needs to decide whether to take the status quo or have a big think about change.
