NZ is the only country in the world that has ACC. It is a government funded org that covers (not fully), New Zealand citizens who are injured and need medical care and rehabilitation. For example, if your are in an accident and unable to work ACC will cover up to around, I think, 80% of your salary, or up to a maximum amount.
Alexandra, I always enjoy reading your posts. Are you in New Zealand.?. The form I filled in was quite detailed and certainly required a lot more info than"Were you sexually abused", before any cover was granted. I didnt have to name anybody and there was nothing to do with charges etc. However, I did have to state when, where, and who the person/people were in realation to me. There was also a lot of information required by myself and counsellor in regard to the long term effects on my mental health, and what I hope to obtain through counselling. I hear what you are saying about cover only being for sexual abuse though. The scars run just as deep with other forms of abuse. Although it has been a great help financially, it was an ordeal filling all the info out, and a decision I put off for a long time. I struggled with the thought of having it "on paper" for anybody to see. Take care, have a happy day!!
