Kai & Korero - ACC Equity in Action with Dr Andrea Knox and Dr Mairead Shanahan
Wednesday 30th July
12:30 - 1:30pm
Dr Knox and Dr Shanahan will guide ANZEA members through foundational research that enabled ACC to develop methods for measuring and monitoring access to the Accident Compensation Scheme (the Scheme), focusing on equity for Māori, Pacific, Asian, and disabled populations.

This led to the approach of matching survey data with ACC claims data to better understand who is getting injured and who is not lodging ACC claims.
