ACC at 50:独一无二的新西兰计划

Share:

本周是新西兰ACC(事故赔偿公司)成立50周年,该公司提供全面、无过失的伤害保障。但是,这一里程碑引发了关于是否需要在系统内进行变革的辩论。

ACC是在最高法院法官欧文·伍德豪斯爵士领导的皇家委员会调查之后于1970年代成立的。该调查是由工人对工伤赔偿不足的不满而引发的。最初的1973年法案涵盖工伤和车祸,次年的一项修正案扩大了其覆盖范围。

多年来,ACC处理的索赔数量急剧增加,从每年几百起民事纠纷和约5,000起工伤赔偿索赔增加到每年约200万起索赔。保险范围也扩大到包括运动伤害和敏感索赔,例如护理中的虐待。

但是,批评者认为,该系统存在重大差距,只有大约百分之一的敏感索赔获得赔偿。律师兼澳大利亚竞争和反腐败委员会研究员沃伦·福斯特承认,尽管ACC系统是全球最好的系统之一,但它并不适用于所有案件,也无法为许多人伸张正义。

最初的ACC法律顾问唐·雷尼批评了当前的组织,将其与大型保险公司相提并论。他认为,澳大利亚竞争和消费者委员会在1982年从委员会转变为公司,使重点从受伤者的需求转向了财务问题。

ACC首席执行官梅根·梅恩不同意,他说尽管多年来发生了变化,但该组织帮助人们的最初目的仍然存在。她承认需要改进,尤其是在索赔数量的增加给康复促进者带来压力的情况下。但是,她也对ACC独特的全面、无过错的伤害保险表示赞赏,这是其他任何国家都无法比拟的。

Main还支持政府的公共服务削减和将ACC预算减少6.5%的计划。她保证,这些裁员不会影响面向客户的员工,旨在消除重复和不必要的项目。
