But of course, if you just want to enjoy the savings and don’t wish to invest in stronger coverage, that’s no problem either.

Our service starts where ACC finishes.

The required levy for New Zealand’s self employed entitles Kiwis to ACC Cover Plus insurance but the coverage itself is limited to cover where you’re not at fault in an accident. On top of this, it has nothing to do with illness only accidents, so if you’re unable to work due to a sickness, condition or a disability that’s recurring ­ so you won’t be eligible for any ACC benefit.

Is Cover Plus a cover must?

All self­-employed individuals in New Zealand have to pay a levy to ACC. This levy entities you to ACC Cover Plus insurance ­ this covers you for treatment and rehabilitation, and will look after you by paying you 80% of your lost earnings in the event of a personal injury. How does it work? The greater the risk of injury at work, the greater the levy.

A little bit extra.

ACC Cover Plus Extra delivers the same support as ACC Cover Plus, but enables you to lock in a pre-­agreed amount between you and ACC. If you’re out of work ­ you’ll gain greater control over what you can get paid. You do still have to pay an ACC levy though. We can help on this.

Is ACC good for me?

The reality is that ACC is limited. No fault injury cover is all that’s covered, and only to a degree. The criteria for claims is often changing, and again this adds further uncertainty to the process. What many don’t know is that the compensation amount provided by ACC in lost earnings is based on the income reported on your tax bill. In addition to this, if you split your income with your partner, you’ll only get 80% of the split amount. You’ll also need to pay taxes on claim payments. Plus, if you return to work part time, your compensation again will further decrease and even getting the compensation in the first place can encounter waiting periods.

Private health insurance is all about enabling you to enjoy the things you truly love in life free from concern for what the future may hold. We offer income protection, mortgage protection and more ­ filling the gaps that ACC leaves behind.

We’ll work smarter so you don’t have to work harder lowering your benefits with ACC and gaining greater rewards with Nido. Things like work coverage become less of a hassle, you’ll be well provided for and free from risks like losing a home.

Making self ­employment work for you.

Our years of experience in insurance have taught us that self employed Kiwis are better off reducing their ACC coverage benefits, gaining savings from the resulting reduced premiums, then applying these in smarter ways to private insurance arrangements with greater comprehensive coverage and less restriction.
