ACC cover as a Locum Dentist in NZ                              November 2013

LANZACC


If you are a Locum we would recommend that you look at choosing ACC Cover Plus Extra, as you can set the amount of cover you require, rather than going off a previous year's tax return.  The benefit of this is that if you have been in your position a short period of time, you may not have a previous year’s tax return that reflects your current income as a locum.

Be aware that ACC only covers net income, not revenue lost if you are unable to undertake work due to an accident. This means that any expenses you incur will not be covered regardless of weather you are at work or not. For revenue loss cover we would recommend that Locums take out business insurance.
