There's way too much bureaucracy until ACC even decides what to do with you.

And we know that early intervention is really crucial if you want to get people back ready for work.

So ACC understands in theory what needs to happen.

The problem is actually ACC has put itself right between the claimants and success.

Because currently, for example, since May actually,

ACC now mandates that employers can no longer actually start the rehabilitation process themselves, but they have to wait for approval first.

There is quite a bit of bureaucratic culture.

There was a report last year, actually, that apparently takes 49 bureaucratic steps inside ACC.

until they even have a welcome conversation with a new case.

It rather hurts.

I think it's my finest work.
