ISSC Sensitive Claims Provider Application

  1. New Provider Application (below)

  2. Already Approved Provider

Until recently we would support you along this process every step of the way, and submit the application on your behalf, but ACC have changed the process, and you now need to apply directly to ACC via an online form. It’s not hard and we will guide you.

1.This is process for NEW providers wanting to become ACC registered for Sensitive Claims

Step One: RealMe

You will need a RealMe account and here is the link to sign up for a RealMe log in (if you don’t have one already). This is a secure gateway used by government agencies that secure your privacy and verify your identity.

https://www.realme.govt.nz/

Step Two: Gather all of your required documentation and save them into a folder as you will need to upload these into the online application form.

You will be referred to as a New Named Provider

Required Documents:

• Academic record of your professional training

• Your CV which shows:

o Your experience working with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse or assault.

o Competency and skills gained in the services you are applying for.

NB: Not required for Clinical Psychologists and Psychiatrists

• Annual Practicing Certificate and / or Professional Body Membership evidence

o This can either be a certificate copy uploaded in this application or you may provide a link.

• Supervisor's details (Name and ACC provider number) and their Annual Practicing Certificate

• Supervisor's written agreement for those applying to be a provisional Named Service Provider

Step Three: Online Application Process

Here is the link to start your application process.

When you click on it, it will take you to your RealMe login where you log in, and then it will take you directly to the application form https://services.businessconnect.govt.nz/prweb/PRAuth/app/BC/kRVjioe-y8Tee7HgctCnKA*/!STANDARD?WorkIDPrefix=ISSC-

It is quite easy and straightforward, and you can stop it at any time and return to it at a later time, but I would advise you to have everything prepared and just do the application in one go.

If there is no option to upload a document, upload under ‘other’. If a field does not apply to you (like the academic record or the supervisor’s contract, put in N/A.



Documents you will need to upload when applying online:

  • Your Professional Body membership (this is not the annual practising certificate, but your actual membership certificate)

  • Your current annual practising certificate (this is your yearly annual practising certificate)

  • Your CV (outline any trauma training and experience) if not already sent to us.

  • Copies of your qualifications (certificates)

  • Academic transcripts

  • Copies of change of name if applicable

  • Copies of residency if applicable

  • If you work with clients under 18 years old, you will need a Child Safety Check.
    https://cvcheck.com/nz/. Send us a copy.

Step Four:

The form, when submitted, goes to ACC who will either approve it or ask for additional information or decline it.

Once approved, you can send us the confirmation of registration as your designated supplier, and we will start our onboarding process with you.

This includes mentoring on the process, training videos for report writing access to the provider log in page and all of our resources etc. To speed up your access to accepting referrals, we will be sending you our Police Vet form. You fill it in and send this back asap so that we have the results and can onboard you as soon as you’re accepted. Otherwise, there can be further delay.
