Other support available
Support available from ACC for Christchurch shooting victims and their families
You can get support from ACC if you or a family member were injured in the terror attack in Christchurch in March 2019, or if you lost a loved one in the attack (see: Christchurch shootings: Support for victims).
ACC covers everyone in New Zealand, including visitors if they are injured while they are here. It’s a good idea to contact ACC if you think you may need their support on 0800 101 996.
