Key Issues 
Performance measures SA24 
This paper proposes the accountability measures for inclusion in the SA24 – refer Appendix 1: SA24 performance framework. In addition, Appendix 2: 
Measure glossary includes the definition of all measures. These proposed measures represent the best alignment to the strategic goals of Huakina Te Rā 
using the most robust measures currently available for SA24. For a fuller description of how the SA measures demonstrate progress toward achieving the 
longer-term strategic outcomes and goals of Huakina Te Rā please refer to the paper, Approach to measuring our success for Huakina Te Rā. Given the new 
strategic direction, measures selected in the SA24 represent a transition towards measuring progress. The measures focus on foundational performance 
(injury prevention, rehabilitation and financial guardianship) for the SA24. Proposed measures more closely align to the goals of Ringa Atawhai | Guardianship 
and Oranga Whānau | Safe and Resilient Communities. There is less coverage for Mana Taurite | Equity, where there is a limited availability of existing 
measures. 
The SA24 includes a smaller number of measures than in prior years (40 measures 2022/23, 31 measures 2023/241). Distil ing these to a tightly focused set 
of measures provides a sharpened picture of performance externally. This is consistent with the current direction in public sector accountability reporting. 
Comparable entities (including Waka Kotahi and NZTE) had 12 to 26 accountability measures. Appendix 3: Mapping current performance framework to 
new provides a mapping of the current (2022/23) performance framework to the proposed framework to aid understanding and demonstrate coverage. 
The accountability measures are supported by organisational and operational measures to increase our understanding of our performance and the ways we 
can lift performance. The three-tier performance framework provides distinct but related measures at three levels: 

Accountability – a set of measures that reflect the critical aspects of our performance in the context of our strategic goals. These are the only measures
presented in the SA24.
• Organisational – a set of additional measures that support tactical and strategic decision making around course correction of performance.
• Operational – additional measures (which can be added to as appropriate) that are used internally to support improvement in operational performance.
The proposed new performance framework for the SA24 also reflects a shift for performance reporting. Historically, we have used the framework of the 
Service Agreement to build performance reporting to the Board. Going forward, external reporting (Quarterly report to Minister for ACC) wil  cover this 
framework, where performance reporting presented for the Board wil  also use key metrics, trends and analysis to support tactical and strategic discussions 
around performance where appropriate. This is demonstrated in the Approach to measuring our success for Huakina Te Rā paper.

The measure set for the SA24 is also divided between our core strategic goals (ManaTaurite | Equity, Ringa Atawhai | Guardianship and Oranga Whānau | 
Safe and Resilient Communities) and Organisational health and capability goals (people, information and technology). This distinction is important – The 
Crown Entities Act requires us to differentiate between the two in our SOI. 
We undertook a process to refine measures from the long-term strategic goals to the medium-term results in the Statement of Intent through to the SA24. 
Criteria were applied to the selection of potential accountability measures to identify measures appropriate for target setting. In this first year of Huakina Te 
Rā, we are including some interim measures. We have termed these ‘bridging measures’, measures without targets. We can capture data for these metrics to 
understand baseline but are unable to set targets at this stage. Performance targets are a specification of what we wil  deliver and we are unable to make 
meaningful assessment for these metrics because we have insufficient historic data and/or an incomplete understanding of which factors drive and influence 
the measure. We consider these to be indicators or watchpoints and offer them in good faith as a means of giving stakeholders as much visibility as possible 
on key areas relevant to each goal. 
Overall, the number of measures is reduced from previous Service Agreements but stil  covers the breadth of the business (Refer to Appendix 4: SA24 core 
goal measures to Outputs)  
Mana Taurite | Equity 
In the SA24 we have three measures for this goal. Of these, one has targets and two are bridging. 
•  Mana Taurite | Equity aims to achieve equity of access, experience and outcome for Māori and all New Zealanders. Overall client satisfaction for Māori 
is currently the only measure with targets proposed for this goal. Satisfaction levels give a high-level indication of the relevance and quality of 
experience for Māori. 
•  As Mana Taurite | Equity is a new focus for ACC, we have identified a large number of relevant new measures to construct but need to improve 
capture of ethnicity, disability and gender data and move to customer (rather than claim) level data collection. 
•  In the SA24, we have included three bridging measures. Claim lodgement ratio for Māori and claim lodgement ratios for other population groups track 
how many claims are lodged per thousand of population. While this gives some indication of access across populations, it requires contextual 
information about base injury rates for each population in order to be meaningful. For example, a comparable claim lodgement ratio for Māori and the 
total population may not indicate equitable access if Māori have a higher level of injury.  
•  Uptake of rongoā Māori services, is included as a bridging measure but again requires additional context to give insight into the cohorts not accessing 
the scheme and the role that rongoā services play in equitable access, experience and outcome for Māori or other population groups. 
Ringa Atawhai | Guardianship 
In the SA24 we have 13 measures for this goal. Of these 12 have targets and one is bridging. 
•  Customer sentiment - Client, provider, and business customer satisfaction measures are now included in the measures for this goal, along with public 
trust and confidence. This is a change from the Net Trust Score refer to paper, New approach to trust measures, September 2022.

•  Financial sustainability - Focus on the long-term sustainability of the Scheme is covered by measures covering the OCL movement, new year claim 
costs and investment performance. This is supplemented with the existing measure covering a major driver of the OCL (care hours for serious injury 
clients) and a more immediate financial measure of efficiency (percentage of total expenditure paid directly to clients or for services to clients). 
•  Carbon reduction commitments - We are proposing to formalise the existing carbon emission targets (corporate and global equity portfolio) in the 
SA24. 
Oranga whānau | Safe and resilient communities 
In the SA24 we have 16 measures for this goal. Of these,13 have targets and three are bridging. 
•  Rehabilitation - Changes have been made to the rehabilitation measures to improve our understanding of the full claim trajectory. For short-term 
performance, we have extended the average weekly compensation days paid measure to start on day one. This enables us to measure the full first 
year of claims, rather that assessing specific points in the claim. In addition, we propose measuring the rehabilitation rate at one year, to describe 
performance before claims enter the long-term claims pool.  
The long-term rehabilitation performance measures remain the same, as does the return to independence for those not in the workforce. 
•  Injury prevention - Our effectiveness at supporting communities to remain injury free is measured by the return on investment for injury prevention 
spend, and claims avoided. We propose to measure the complete injury prevention portfolio in one return on investment measure. 
Rates of serious injury claims and sensitive claims for Māori are included as bridging measures. While these give some indication of Oranga Whānau 
progress, information about the base rates of these forms of injury is required.  
Organisational health and capability 
In the SA24 we have five measures for this goal. Of these, all have targets. 
•  Employee engagement – The performance framework includes a shift from Employee Net Promoter Score to Employee Engagement GrandMean 
(based on the Gallup Q12). The Q12 is based on multiple questions, is well researched, and widely validated. This measure is more reliable over time 
and provides a more robust and interpretable performance picture. It can also be benchmarked against a range global trends and industry standards. 
•  Privacy – we propose maintaining the existing measure (Number of category 3,4 or 5 breaches and near misses) for the coming year. However, we 
wil  alter the definition of the measure slightly to exclude historical incidents where behaviour happened three or more years ago. 
The current measure does use a rating system developed by the Government Chief Privacy Officer (GCPO) that has recently been decommissioned. 
Despite significant work and investigation over the past 6 months, it has been challenging to pinpoint one or two measures that would accurately 
reflect privacy maturity with the current information and data we have available. Work wil  be completed in 2023/24 to test potential replacement 
measures. 
 
Additional legislative requirements considered in the development of the SA24 performance framework include: 
•  The Accident Compensation (Access Reporting and Other Matters) Amendment Bil  (currently at Select Committee stage), if passed will require us to 
report annual y on access for Māori and other population groups including any disparities and barriers and contributing causes or factors. In the SA24 
we are proposing to include Claim lodgement ratio for Māori and other groups.

•  From 2022, we were required to comply with a new standard for service performance reporting (PBE FRS 48). Paragraph 15a states: 
“An entity’s service performance information shall provide users with sufficient contextual information to understand why the entity exists, what it 
intends to achieve in broad terms over the medium to long term, and how it goes about this.”  
The performance framework sets us up well to achieve this. 
•  Finally, we are also required to include asset performance measures in the Service Agreement as per Cabinet Office Circular CO (19) 6: Investment 
Management and Asset Performance in the State Services. To address this requirement, we have eight additional measures aligned to out two largest 
asset portfolios: property and ICT. 
The SA24 wil  also include information necessary to support the understanding of the Scheme and how we wil  deliver on our objectives. This information will 
include, but is not limited to: 
•  funding ratios by Account 
•  claims volumes 
•  demographics about our employees. 
 
Performance targets SA24 

Striking the right balance in performance targets between ambition and confidence of delivery is a challenge. The targets aim for an improvement in 
performance year on year, but achievability is also considered. We are socialising these targets across the organisation to ensure this balance is achieved. 
The proposed targets wil  be provided to the April 2023 Board meeting for discussion. 
Where possible, the Budget and Service Agreement are aligned in terms of performance target aspirations. However, the timing of the Service Agreement 
does mean we can reflect more recent performance and experience in the targets should this be necessary and potentially accept some inconsistency. In the 
event where targets are updated following the SA24 process, it is unlikely to materially impact the Budget and therefore, we would not normally update the 
Budget for any changes.
