ACC is consulting on proposed changes to the levy classification units for sport to better reflect the risks of injury. The proposed changes are to:

• remove the distinction between community and professional sports in the way sports organisations are classified.
• create a new classification unit for clubs and administrators who don’t employ players.
• group higher risk sports participants and their employers, specifically football, rugby, rugby league, cricket and motorcycling, and their national organisation together for the purposes of levy setting.

ACC is consulting on these proposals until 9 October. If you have any questions or want more information about the proposals, you can contact ACC at shapeyouracc@acc.co.nz
