There’s hopes a major new review of ACC will take a long-term view.
ACC Minister Matt Doocey has ordered a six month review into the agency after it reported a $7.2 billion deficit and a drop in the rehabilitation rates.
Levies for earners and businesses are set to increase 5% each year for the next three years.

He says the Government needs to look at how ACC can better get people back into work.
