ACC Accrediated Employers and their obligations to the Caiment of ACC and ACC NZ responsibility
Lisa made this Official Information request to Accident Compensation Corporation
The request was partially successful.
From: Lisa
Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,
Could ACC supply me the list of Accredited Employers and their obligations to the claimant and the Corporation
I have asked ACC and all the below, ACC said they would send me all this by email however, I have not received.
Within this, when there have been formal complaints to the Accredited Employer, does the Accredited Inform ACC, as ACC has a duty to oversee the Accredited Employer?
When the Accredited Employer has made Privacy Breaches and/or withheld documentation, failed in their responsibilities as a ACC accredited do they have a duty to inform ACC of Formal Complaints that have been made to them and if so, what is the acceptable time frames and acceptable time frames of all the above?
When ACC accreditors use Wellnz Corporation to take over their injured workers, who is responsible when Wellnz Corporation acts inappropriately, breaches the Privacy Act in its entirety? Whose duty is it to inform 3rd parties, and to inform ACC itself? What duty is it then for ACC to take as the entire above, and the time frames of all the above?
When ACC have failed themselves to oversee accredited employers, and all the above, who over see's ACC with this?
Yours faithfully,
Lisa
