ACC Subsidies for H&S Advice

An ACC subsidy is available to help small and medium sized businesses access specialist health and safety advice from HASANZ-registered professionals.

Who’s eligible?
Subsidies are available for businesses in the manufacturing and residential construction sectors with between 6-99 employees.

What the subsidies are for:

Residential Construction: The subsidy can help pay for a health and safety action plan or improvement activity relating to working in and around vehicles (including moving plant) and/or falls from heights.

Manufacturing: The subsidy can help pay for a health and safety action plan or improvement activity undertaken or signed off by a HASANZ-registered advisor. The plan or activity must be in the areas of leadership, worker engagement, and/or risk management.

See information on how to apply on the ACC website or get started by searching for an adviser on the HASANZ Register.
