ACC is being told it needs to urgently change how it operates.
It's been sent an open letter from the Green party and 27 other organisations.
It comes after it was revealed more than a dozen employees were sharing and mocking people's injury details on a Snapchat group.
It also outlines huge work backlog issues and client battles.
It cites major privacy breaches, massive workloads and long-standing client battles.
