Accident Compensation Corporation

Working together to improve outcomes – General Practice – External Reference Group

Overview


We’re seeing more people requiring time off work due to injury, and their average time away from work is getting longer.

Longer recovery timeframes and extended time off work has negative impacts for the injured person, their whānau and community. This is also putting pressure on the Accident Compensation Scheme and the sustainability of the entitlements we provide.

To tackle this challenge and make meaningful improvement for injured New Zealanders we have two opportunities available. Please see our other GETS Notice for the Opportunity One: Expression of Interest - Working together to improve outcomes – General Practice – Your Ideas.

Opportunity Two – Expression of Interest - External Reference Group
To support this work we’re forming a Primary Care Provider Advisory Group to provide guidance on potential solutions that will have a positive impact.
We’re looking for a group of senior primary care representatives or thought leaders who want to partner with us to help address the shared challenge and improve recovery outcomes for all New Zealanders.

You can nominate someone or yourself.
