Copy of ACC internal policy in processing and dealing with such Grievances
ACC needs extra time
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the
day we received your request. Unfortunately, it wil not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 2 November 2020.
This extension is necessary because your request is for a large quantity of information and meeting the
original time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations.
How to contact us
Please contact me o
n [email address] if you would like to talk about this letter. I wil be
happy to answer any questions or, if you have any concerns, work with you to resolve these.
If you are not happy with this extension, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman.
Information about how to do this is available at
