In New Zealand (NZ)  the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) is the NZ Crown entity responsible for administering the country’s no-fault accidental injury compensation scheme. The scheme provides financial compensation and support to citizens, residents, and temporary visitors who have suffered personal injuries. Costs covered under the accident compensation scheme include:

  • medical and other treatment

  • loss of income

  • social rehabilitation (restoring everyday independence)

  • vocational rehabilitation (restoring independence in work life)

  • lump sums for permanent disabilities (“permanent impairment”).

If the ACC accepts an individual’s application to use floatation therapy in their rehabilitation or treatment then the sessions could be paid by the ACC.

Clients who are subject to an ACC claim should have the conversation of float therapy being part of their rehabilitation / recovery plan with their account manager.
