Irene De Marco — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:02:39 +0100

A predetermined outcome

Privacy and the Health Information act. Recording of assessments. Non Compliance.

Yes I do insist on recording the assessment given ACC's abysmal handling of correct medical information being to provided to assessors in my case in the past.

And sadly once again I have discovered ACC has failed to provide the latest ortho report to the last two assessor's.

I understand that recording an assessment is a privilege not a right but as in Jackson v Accident Compensation Corpor...

TIME TO STRIKE BACK !!!

Nick Smith is the first RAT to be exterminated on the good ship ACC.

More will follow I hope.

But the information about ACC breaches in security are only part of it all.

The other ACC breaches ( of human rights, legislation, and laws ) that they have imposed on nearly EVERYONE on this site need to be aired NOW.

The reporter from the Dominion Newspaper who released the story that got Nick Smith exterminated needs YOUR stories to further expose other rats on the ship...

More ACC Cover-ups over yet another privacy breech

Garth Paul — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 10:17:37 +0100

Currently ACC is under the light for client file breeches and non-compliance with privacy laws.

I recently received someone else's data with my file that was requested under the Official Information Act ( which ACC did their best to NOT comply with ). It was requested because of the apparent insecurity of my personal data that they have on file. The file produced PROVES that my concerns over file security were well founded.

Now ACC are trying to cover up the fact that someone el...

NOHSAC report ignored at what cost?

ian smith — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 18:25:41 +0100

In short your life or health.

This government funded (taxpayer) report written2009 by those charged with monitoring public health and welfare made scathing analytical comment on failed systems including ACC.

Fundamental and structural flaws of extreme financial, social, and ethical significance were identified. None of its recommendations have been adopted by ACC.

For example. the report advocated starting an acurate injury surveilance for work related harm....

If the claimant is correct this will cost the corporation a lot of money

freefallnz — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:01:11 +0100

The fact of the matter is that ACC have dicked me around from day 1.

To quote ACC's Legal beagle who oversaw my original request in 2006 "If the claimant is correct this will cost the corporation a lot of money".

To bad they didn't look properly at my case then. All that ACC staff have done is to deny, delay and obfuscate. I would have been happy to accept what I asked for.

It will now cost ACC a lot more. Robyn is to be praised. We have talked about my cla...

ACC corruption soooo deepset....

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:03:25 +0100

Good article. The way its pointed out the way to get a blog out there. Great. Ive been trying to get a blog started regarding the recent ‘kicked off weekly compensation entitlements’ that have have happened en masse since the Monday after the elections.

What is the point of ACC anymore. they cannot ‘prevent’, they dont ‘care’, and ‘recovery’ is non-existant under their ‘regime’. However, the ACC employess do reap all the benef...

The cost of obtaining one's lawfull entitlements

freefallnz — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 21:07:43 +0100

I was reading yesterday's article about an ACC claimant asking for help with vet bills and her very true & profound comment.

"I just spent $1000 which I haven't got ... it's a lot of money for someone who lives on ACC,"

A sad fact fact but true in that every claimant on reduced income must fund their own legal challenges. Some may have the advantage in that they qualify for legal aid.

I look at tomcats case over the last 20 years and wonder just how much it has cost h...

Best thing about ACC ...

Garth Paul — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:54:29 +0100

The best thing about ACC is - NOT having to deal with them.

This year has been really great because I did not have anything to do with those corrupt and dishonest bastards that work for ACC and call themselves managers. I have not met one within ACC called a manager who could manage their way out of a paper bag.

Being kicked off ACC income support ( illegally ) by my case manager Michelle Barr of Northwood branch was actually the best thing that ever happened to me.

ACC Culture and Work Ethics

Mark D McNicholl — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:48:02 +0100

ACC has been micro-managed by successive Governments. I hope that the Hon Judith Collins will be able to make the changes that will bring ACC to its 'grass-roots" of helping and not hindering folkwho have been injured.

The Dr Jan White CEO years of Corporation Change Destruction must be abandoned by the new ACC CEO - who appears to have very little "backbone"!

White's legacy is a dis-functional ACC filled with corporate YES men and woman who are so "black and white" in their out...

The Secret Files, aka it Sweep

Irene De Marco — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 22:12:22 +0100

Holy moses.....has anyone else got a copy of these files???

the do show, from the very 1st incidence of injury, that acc will do everything in their power to exit you

they sort of work out, whether you injury is worse than initially diagnosed, and immediately start on character assassination, even when sending referrals to other agencies

the amount of sarcasm, bullshit, lies placed on this file is horrendous...and everyone elses w...

ACC are law breakers

Barry Stent — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 23:05:05 +0100

I am a kiwi male that has worked hard for over 35 years built a successful business have paid my bills, taxes ,gst ,and like many are now being shafted by acc after sustaining a permanently life threatening injury at work.things were not good from the start but they did cover my medical bills and treatments up to a point.

I was forced to re-enter the workforce as the financial burden was great and the cover was minimal at best and not covering my bills and living expenses.

You Have Rights ??? No you don't !!!

Garth Paul — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 12:07:40 +0100

ACC are forever touting that "you have rights" on just about every communication you get from them. But in reality you have NO rights - unless it suits them.

When they abuse your rights and you complain about it - they simply ignore your complaints altogether. This operational policy extends right up to the minister - Nick Smith - who ignores you too when you complain to him. And when you complain to ACC that they are ignoring your complaints or your rights - they simply "dis-ent...

$100m hit from Pike River hurts NZOG

freefallnz — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 20:06:16 +0100

NZOG has a 29.4 per cent stake in the Pike River mine, which exploded in November last year, killing 29 workers.

It's a bad time to be an ACC claimant

freefallnz — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 01:13:14 +0100

Well it is.

The United States lost its top-notch AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor's on Friday in an unprecedented reversal of fortune for the world's largest economy.

The NZX50 index yesterday plunged 3 per cent to its lowest since December, after huge falls on Wall Street and in Europe, as fears mount that another global financial crisis is imminent.

New Zealand investors face a nervous weekend, after a global equities rout sliced $1.17 billion off the value of...

Why don't you pay for your own rehabilitation.

freefallnz — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 10:49:00 +0100

Well in 1998 an ACC case manager stated that ACC had "paid enough for this mans rehabilitation."

My current IRP consists of counseling as to why I wont pay for my own rehabilitation.

My hangup apparently is that I won't pay for my rehabilitation.

Well ACC has stated to my rehabilitation supplier (Stewart Center) that "ACC would not pay for any computer courses."

My hangup apparently is the fact that ACC refuses to pay for nor address the fact that under the 1992 ac...

Figuring it out

Muppet — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 18:28:26 +0100

The department of statistics at Auckland University has started a nifty blog looking at statistics crimes in the media.

Thomas Lumley had this to say on an ACC ad:

"Last week, in Wellington, I saw an ad warning that someone is hurt in a household accident every 48 seconds. Is that a lot? The population of New Zealand is about 4.5 million, and there are about 30 million seconds in a year. Let's round off the accident rate to one every 50 seconds. That gives 600,000 accidents a ye...
