flag Union opposes ACC’s plan to cut seven specialist prevention roles, warning it will increase injuries and violence.

flag The Public Service Association is opposing ACC’s proposed elimination of seven specialist prevention roles, including those focused on Māori and sexual violence, warning the move will increase injuries and sexual violence. flag The cuts would replace experts with generalist staff, weakening targeted prevention efforts across falls, roads, sport, workplace safety, and treatment safety. flag The PSA argues these specialists deliver significant harm reduction and that cutting them prioritizes short-term savings over long-term public safety and cost efficiency. flag Consultations close October 28, and the union plans to submit formal opposition. flag The push comes amid broader public sector concerns, including a recent nationwide strike by over 1,200 ACC workers.
