ACC
Levies and competitiveness
Farmers are concerned about the amount they pay to ACC and the quality of cover they receive if injured.
Every year Federated Farmers submits on the level of ACC levies to keep costs at a reasonable level.
Federated Farmers' preferred model is a competitive accident insurance market, but in the absence of this, ACC has the added responsibility to provide robust and detailed information so that its performance can be measured.
Active role in injury prevention
Federated Farmers recognises the significant financial and social implications that injuries and fatalities have on its members and their families.
It undertakes an active role in injury prevention by working alongside ACC and other agencies concerned with health and safety in the rural sector.
Federated Farmers is an active participant and supporter of the Agricultural Health and Safety Council and the FarmSafe programme.
