ACC has just cut payments to a record number of long-term clients, as reported by the New Zealand Herald (source).
This is a clear reminder: you can’t rely on ACC forever.
Even if you’re still injured or unwell, ACC can reassess your case and decide to stop compensation. That’s devastating if you’ve built your financial plan around ongoing support.
Why you need a safety net?
ACC is designed to help you recover—not to support you indefinitely. If you suffer a chronic illness or injury, you need to plan for the possibility that ACC may step away.
What should I consider?
- Know you options – is income protection or mortgage protection right for you
- Would building emergency savings fit my budget
- Have a free, short conversation with an adviser to see whats right for me
If you want help reviewing your cover or building a plan that doesn’t depend on ACC, we’re here to help.
