The Team from ACC New Zealand

With warmer weather heading our way, gardening is a great way to stay fit and get regular doses of Vitamin D to help strengthen our bones.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!

A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Use our automated online interview (about 15-20 minutes), then confirm you want to proceed, send us a copy of the signed will, and we will edit and send you the documents ready for you to sign and send to the High Court. This is for executors to apply for probate of a will after someone has died. We currently charge $400 (next year $460), and you pay the High Court fee direct ($200). (If there is no will, and if you need letters of administration, we use a slightly different process that costs about the same.) (This links direct to the form.
