SARNZ is thrilled to announce a new Corporate Partnership with Manage Group. Many of you will be aware of the incredible work that Martin and Sue already do for the industry, going above and beyond for not only our industry, but many others.
Why do larger employers manage their own ACC claims? Because it gives them greater control which in turn leads to both ACC and operational savings.
The ACC self-insurance model only suits NZ’s larger employers, but you can have direct access to the same solutions. This is where Manage Group shine – making ACC work for you.
General Manager, Tina Wieczorek says of the partnership, “It is great to have solidified this partnership. As we know our membership have so many other obstacles to battle right now, so having the team at Manage Group here to support our members is vital. Martin and Sue are incredibly passionate about what they do and about looking after their clients. Their values are linked with ours and I know they will be (and already are for some) of extreme value to our members. I look forward to growing this partnership and seeing their continued success in our industry.”
Manage Group’s dedicated 0800 triage number and national physio network are directly available to SARNZ members.
Sue, who is your Manage Group go-to and main contact, is passionate about managing claims. Sue says, “when around 70% of claims in the scaffolding industry are sprains and strains, it baffles me that doctors are still the first solution. All that ends up happening is that you will receive a med cert for a week off or longer and a referral to a physio. Oh, and the surcharge fee of course. This is all such a waste of time and money.”
The Manage Group has a claims triage function that focuses on getting the right solution at the right time. They have a physio network across NZ and where they can’t see someone in person, they can do a telehealth appointment. In short, there is 100% coverage.

When a claim happens, you phone the 0800 4 TRIAGE number and Sue will do the rest. It's that easy.
Manage Group also takes care of the 'dodgy' claims - those that really shouldn't sit under your business from an ACC perspective. There are a number of reasons why this can occur, and scarily, it affects 1 in every 3 claims.
Sue says, "ACC claims are fickle things, and the employer is not well looked after. This is a large part of why we exist – to give the employer control. If a claim does not legally need to sit under the business, then why pay the ACC penalties?"
To hear more on this, you can catch Martin as part of our guest panel speaking at our Wellington event on May 11th. Make sure you register here.
And that is as good a reason as any to sign up to the Manage Group's claim management platform.
