When I needed an ACC advocate years ago, I discovered just how hard they were to find.

So I built something myself.
ACC Advocates NZ is a free website that helps people across Aotearoa find independent ACC advocates who can support them through reviews, entitlements, and disputes.
The site is fully self-funded and now receives thousands of search impressions every month. In the last 28 days alone, it helped nearly 500 people connect with support — that’s around 100 people every week.
This isn’t a business. It’s about access, fairness, and making sure people don’t have to navigate the ACC system alone.
If you or someone you care about needs an advocate, or if you believe in better access to justice and disability support, please share this so more people can find help.

When you sign up to an independent apartment or townhouse at a participating Ryman village by 28 February 2026, you won't pay your weekly fee until 2028*. And because life at Ryman means no home upkeep, you'll have more time for the things you love.
Some people with stable, long-term health conditions may be able to get prescriptions that last up to 12 months.
People with a 12 month prescription will still collect three months’ supply of medicine at a time, from the pharmacy.
Ask your doctor if 12 month prescriptions are right for you.
