    ACC is urging Kiwis to act ethically when it comes to injury claims, as it works to claw itself out of a fiscal hole

    ACC is urging Kiwis to act ethically when it comes to injury claims, as it works to claw itself out of a fiscal hole


    A new plan's been released after a critical report that found its deficit would balloon to 26-billion dollars by 2030.

    It focuses on getting people back to work more quickly, and would also see every claimant given a single point of contact.

    ACC Chief Executive Megan Main says there are some people who take advantage of the system.

    She says it's important to give the support to people who need it, and for Kiwis to do the right thing.
