NEW ZEALAND ACC STATISTICS

Concussion is a serious injury and occurs frequently. An estimated 35,000 head injuries in New Zealand per year.

21% (7,350 injuries per year) of all head injuries in New Zealand are sustained through sport related activity.

ACC only receives claims for 6,250 of those sports related concussion injuries suggesting that 1,100 currently go untreated.

46% – (3,381 injuries per year) are classified as mild with a high risk of complications. Injuries are most frequently sustained during rugby, cycling and equestrian activities. 11% of sports related concussion claimants of ACC had multiple concussions within a 2 year period.

Evidence shows that with repeat concussion people may experience a decline in general health and quality of life.
