    You Case Manager Approves the Budget
    If you’re recovering from an injury that makes it difficult to cook for yourself, talk to your ACC case manager about getting meal delivery included in your support plan. Good nutrition plays a big role in recovery, so this is a common form of assistance.

Eating Well Is Part Of Getting Well

When you’re recovering from an injury, your body needs proper fuel to heal. But if you’re in pain, limited in mobility or simply exhausted, cooking a decent meal can feel like the last thing you’re able to do.

That’s exactly why ACC can fund meal delivery as part of your recovery. Nutritious, balanced meals help your body repair and give you one less thing to worry about while you’re getting back on your feet.

Our meals are made with real ingredients, batch-cooked in our Whangārei kitchen and snap-frozen to lock in flavour and nutrition. They’re designed to be hearty, satisfying and easy to heat, because when you’re recovering, dinner shouldn’t be hard work.

ACC Meals: Common Questions

Who qualifies for ACC funded meals?

If you have an accepted ACC claim for an injury that prevents you from cooking effectively, you may be eligible for funded meal delivery. Your ACC case manager will assess your needs and confirm whether meal support can be included in your recovery plan.

How do I get started with ACC funded meals?

Speak to your ACC case manager and let them know you’d like meal delivery as part of your support. They can search for Delicious & Done on the ACC system using our vendor number VLB524. Once the budget is approved, we’ll take it from there.

How often can I get meals delivered?

We offer weekly, fortnightly or monthly delivery — whichever suits your needs best. You can adjust your delivery frequency at any time.

Can I change my meals?

Absolutely. You can swap your meals as often as you like. Just let us know what you’d prefer from our menu and we’ll update your next delivery.

Do I have to pay anything?

If your ACC case manager approves meal delivery as part of your claim, the cost is covered by ACC. We handle all the invoicing directly — you won’t receive a bill or need to submit any receipts.

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

Yes. Our menu includes gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian options. You can filter meals by dietary need when browsing our range.

Where do you deliver?

We deliver nationwide across New Zealand. Meals are snap-frozen and shipped in eco-insulated packaging to arrive cold and ready for your freezer.
