ACC Accredited

ACC Sensitive Claim’s (Integrated Service for Sensitive Claim -  ISSC) findsupport.co.nz is an ACC process where a person who has experienced sexual harm/violence can make an ACC Claim to get treatment around dealing with the experience.  This may involve social work support, counselling or some other form of treatment to help.

Southland Help Rape and Abuse Support Centre is an ACC Supplier, this means that we have a contract with ACC and have Providers (Counsellors and Social Workers) who can work with you.   ACC will cover the costs, if your claim is accepted.

We are happy to help you with the ACC process, just get in touch.
