How ICRA’s mediation services can help you to find resolution with ACC
Engagement with ACC will often come at a sensitive point in life, and decisions made by ACC on whether to grant cover, and the extent to which cover should be granted can be highly impactful. If you disagree with a decision that ACC has made, you have the right to an independent review of that decision. Mediation is an additional pathway for resolving your dispute with ACC, and in this article, we explain how our mediation services can help you to achieve fair, speedy and efficient resolution.
