New Zealand law explained for everyone

Accident Compensation Act 2001

Transitional provisions relating to entitlements provided by Corporation (but not under Part 10) - Rehabilitation

375: Compensation payable outside New Zealand for pecuniary loss not related to earnings under 1982 Act: attendant care

You could also call this:

“Money for your caregiver can continue if you were getting it before April 2002, even if you're outside New Zealand”

If you were getting money for someone to take care of you before 1 April 2002, under a law called Section 438 of the Accident Insurance Act 1998, you can keep getting that money. This is for care that’s not about your job or how much you earn. The rule stays the same even though there’s a new law now.
