If you've been injured in an accident, ACC will cover some of your physiotherapy costs. You can come straight to Grey Lynn Physio, you don’t need to visit your GP first.
How ACC works
What is ACC, and how does it work?
ACC (the Accident Compensation Corporation) is New Zealand's universal no-fault accident insurance scheme. If you've been injured in an accident, at work, on the sports field, at home, or anywhere else, ACC will cover part of the cost of your medical treatment, including physiotherapy.
Grey Lynn Physio is a registered ACC provider. This means Damian Taylor can lodge your ACC claim directly, from your very first appointment. You don't need to visit your GP, call ACC, or fill in forms beforehand, making your ACC claim quick and easy.
How it works — step by step:
1. Book your appointment
Book directly with Grey Lynn Physio, by phone or online. No GP referral needed. Mention that your injury may be ACC-related when you book.
2. Come in for your assessment
We will assess your injury thoroughly. If it is ACC-eligible, we will register your claim and organise the paperwork during your appointment so you don’t have to worry about it.
3. Pay only the co-payment
$40 for a 30 minute appointment
$55 for a 45 minute appointment
$75 for a 60 minute appointment
Longer appointments are available for more complex cases.
4. Focus on getting better.
We will ensure you have a clear and personalised treatment and recovery plan developed just for you.
