Your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-046772
Thank you for your request of 16 March 2026, asking for the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
1/ Is there such a thing as a Integrity File Al ocated to Claimants
2/ if so, what is exactly the Purpose of such a file
3/ what is contained in this file
4/ how does a Claimant obtain this file
Our response
An Integrity File is created if there is an intervention or investigation undertaken by the Fraud
Intervention and Investigation team. This will not apply to all clients. The purpose of such a file is to
provide an accurate record of the intervention or investigation. The file would contain information
related to the intervention or investigation, such as information gathered from internal and external
sources.
An Integrity File is only available for release after an intervention or investigation has been closed. If a
client would like a copy of an Integrity File, they can request a copy of the Integrity File specifically or
request a full copy file. Details about how to request personal information is available on the ACC
website, here: https://www.acc.co.nz/contact/request-for-personal-information.
If you have any questions about this response, please get in touch
You can email me at [email address]. If you are not happy with this response, you can
also contact the Ombudsman via [email address] or by phoning 0800 802 602.
