Time Extension of your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-046006
Thank you for your email of 9 February 2026, asking for various information about Injury Prevention
programmes, including their Return of Investment, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
ACC needs extra time
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after
the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we
are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 30 March 2026.
This extension is necessary because your request is for a large quantity of information and meeting
the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations. Additional y, consultations
necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be
made within the original time limit.
Questions
Please contact me o
n [email address] if you would like to talk about this letter. I will
be happy to answer any questions or, if you have any concerns, work with you to resolve these.
If you are not happy with this extension, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman.
Information about how to do this is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800
802 602.
