There are more than 500,000 businesses in New Zealand. Each of these businesses while different in size and sector all have one thing in common, people.

Everyone who works or owns a business in New Zealand pays levies. Your levy goes towards insuring and protecting your most important assets – you and your people.

Annual ACC invoices for businesses are sent out from 9 July and there’s a few things you need to know to make the process a whole lot easier.

If your details or circumstances have changed since last year, you can update these online. If you do this by 22 June, we can invoice you correctly.

Auckland landlord fined $2000 for not having smoke alarms

Nice Place Property Management Ltd

An Auckland landlord was fined $2000 for not having smoke alarms installed.

This is a harsh but solid reminder to all landlords, that safety shouldn’t be risked, and failure to comply with tenancy law is putting more than the house at risk.

We normally help you. Today we need your help.

Our Council funding is at risk. Council staff have rejected our application for continued 3-year funding and have recommended a one-off grant for 6 months during which time they want us to completely redefine our services. This combined with the Council signalling the loss of our CAB premises means our very existence in Wellington is threatened.
There is still time to change Wellington councils mind. Lobby the council by signing our petition.

If you are willing to share your story of how we helped you, make contact your local bureau so we can arrange to have you interviewed.

If we are not there, where will the 31,000 people we helped last year go?
