ACC and Injury Care with Bettr:
We can help with ACC referrals and care too. This might include specialist referrals for ongoing therapy and treatment, or follow-up online consultations with a Bettr online doctor, as part of your post-injury care plan. If you need an initial ACC assessment or aren’t an existing customer of Bettr, you’ll need to see a doctor in person at one of our clinics as a first step. Learn more
*WINZ medical capacity certificates are not possible for newly enrolled patients or other patients where we do not hold full GP medical records
