ACC has agreed to reassess claims for surgical mesh injuries that it had previously declined.
Almost 400 people could have their cases reassessed under new clinical guidelines, which have been developed based on the latest medical evidence and understanding of mesh injuries.
ACC's announcement arose from a restorative justice process, where 600 mesh-injured people shared their stories of emotional and physical harm caused by the mesh implants and the ACC claims process.
Patricia Sullivan is the co-founder of the surgical mesh advocacy group Mesh Down Under.
She spoke to Te Aniwa Hurihanganui.
