The dismantling of pay equity recourse and ACC’s suggested abandonment of sexual abuse survivors aren’t coincidences - they’re deliberate, connected attacks on women under the rhetoric of “cost savings”.
Different fronts, same spectrum of systemic misogyny - and it demands immediate resistance.

Thank you for your words - and the treatment from ACC is unacceptable 😡

This govt has made it increasingly difficult to retain the help that those covered by SC are entitled to. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started to point out the drop-out rate & full waitlists as a means for privatisation. It’s straight out of Seymour and his friends’ playbook

I hear you - can very much see this happening also🫠

Also just to clarify- my therapist and I have to do progress reports about my c-ptsd recovery every few months. ACC are rejecting these and making people re-do/ amend them at a much higher rate. These take entire sessions. Also they are making people do re-assessments with external providers

What this is is a 2 hour in-depth conversation with a therapist who isn’t your own going over your history. The traumatic event, any self harm or s*icidal events no matter when in your life it was. Many find this too re-traumatising and opt to leave therapy instead of going through it.

This is now something that is required to continue receiving ACC funded trauma therapy. I was lucky my partner was able to take a day off to come and support me during and after the appointment but not everyone is in that position. This process will only harm those who are already vulnerable.

So if I do my report that’s one week of therapy I don’t get, affecting two weeks. If they then reject it that’s another session I lose. That’s essentially 3 weeks without support I then get. My theory is they are making the processes intentionally hostile so they can then point to drop-out numbers
