As a farmer, you know only too well just how unpredictable life can be... Not only is one up against the elements, there are other factors that contribute to this 'unpredictability'. Besides the day to day risks associated with manual labour, there are the risks presented in our modern society, such as heart disease, cancer and stroke. Suffering a major medical event or serious accident could have disastrous financial implications for any farming family.
For some time, ACC has recommended that self-employed individuals, in particular farmers, should have greater certainty at claim time. Thus, CoverPlus EXTRA was developed with this very outcome in mind.
ACC CoverPlus Extra is an optional product that enables the self-employed and non PAYE shareholder employees to negotiate a 'pre-agreed level of lost earnings compensation'. This benefit will ensure that you know exactly how much you will receive each week, if you are injured and unable to work – whether the injury is work-related or not. ACC CoverPlus Extra will replace your standard ACC CoverPlus product.
If this were to happen to you, what plan do you have in place to provide the funds necessary to ensure continuity within your business and financial security for your family?
Such plans include a number of key solutions, including:

Of recent times, insurance providers have sought to offer farmers benefits that match the changing financial needs of families. Having funds available to employ additional labour to step in to a farmers boots to continue day-to-day operations, is a critical component of any farmer's risk portfolio.
Insurance cover is a vital contingency plan for any farmer. It can take just one setback to jeopardise years of hard work. AgriBusiness Risk Protection aims to protect the financial viability of a farm, when a farmer is unable to work due to disability. Having access to a lump sum payment should a farmer become permanently disabled, suffer a traumatic condition or pass away, is essential.
