The Government is looking to crack down on ACC-based fraud, but questions have been raised over the details of this move.
ACC Minister Scott Simpson recently promoted that number of fraud investigations launched by ACC increased '12-fold' from two in the 2023 calendar year to 24 in 2025.
In the eight months to the end of August this year, it launched 38 investigations.
NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny explained that the ACC sees millions of claims a year, and there's been a decrease in interventions in claims.
