Manage takes the pain out of Health and Safety. We handle it all – from ACC claims, training and safety gear – We’ll keep you compliant, keep your workers safe, and keep you focused on getting the job done.
We are a New Zealand and Australia’s risk management experts. We specialise in Government compliance such as ACC and Worksafe in New Zealand and Workers Comp and WorkSafe in Australia. In New Zealand, we typically end up ‘clawing’ back premium from ACC, due to bad processes - both with ACC and with the employer. Our present average saving hovers around the 41%.
Our main motivation is to ensure businesses are treated fairly and equitably. This begins with making sure you understand exactly what is happening, and where you stand. And that is what we do - translate Government speak into plain English.
We are proud to say we are specialists in this field because we live and breathe it. Not all of us know how to drive a truck, how to pour concrete, or how to operate a chainsaw, but someone in the business does. And we know exactly how to ensure your business is set up in the best position to do these things.
We cover all of New Zealand and Australia. No matter where you are we can support you in growing your business by making compliance work for you. Our system allows us to do the work remotely using the phone, internet and depending on cell coverage, homing pigeon.

Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what our clients are saying
“I can’t speak highly enough of Manage Company. Their health and safety expertise is exceptional, and they consistently deliver outstanding service. They have helped us create a safer workplace while making compliance straightforward and stress-free. Their team is professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable (Martins sense of humour certainly helps keep the team on their toes). Working with Manage Company has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our business. Highly recommended!”
“Great workshop (Bridge the Gap) provided by Martin, friendly and approachable, easy to ask questions and get tailored answers to your business. Would recommend to anyone needing support with health and safety.”
“Many thanks to Manage for presenting their ACC focused webinars and training. I have attended two now and have come away with helpful tips and actions to assist with the managing of our company’s ACC expenses. The webinars and training are informative and very well presented; they are easily relatable and interactive sessions.”
“I am delighted to let you know that WorkSafe has completed its investigation and decided to take no further action. This is an excellent outcome and vindicates the work you all (and especially Martin) put in to dealing with WorkSafe, and ensuring the company was well-prepared for the duty-holder interview Worksafe conducted.”
“We enjoy working with Manage.
What I like about Manage Company is that they hold you accountable. Even if you are one of the boss’s they tell you what they need too, not always what you want to hear.
Another point that is important to us is they are relatable people. They have that true understanding that while going by the book is correct, it also has to be practical. That’s important.
Also as a director of a company, I like the way they understand that it has to be warrantable, they look at ways that we can do a job safely & within a budget.
Another thing I like about Manage is they always are happy for you to reach out if you’re not sure about something. No question is a dumb question.
Thanks Manage”
“Working with Manage Company has transformed the way we handle our ACC injuries, medical assessments, and pre-employment processes. Their team is incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about the well-being of our employees.
They helped streamlined our claims management, making it easier for us to focus on our core business while ensuring that our staff receives the best possible support during their recovery. The level of expertise and attention to detail they provide is unmatched. They’ve not only helped us navigate complex medical requirements but have also educated our team on best practices for injury prevention.
We couldn’t be happier with the service we’ve received, and we highly recommend Manage Company to any organisation looking for a reliable third-party administrator.”
“Sam has done a fantastic job building relationships with our team and getting genuine buy-in around our HSE processes. The effort that Manage Company have made to understand our business and tailor their approach to our needs has really stood out. Their response times have been excellent, and they bring a practical, common-sense approach to Health & Safety.
We’re looking forward to continuing to build our relationship with the team and would happily recommend Manage Group based on our experiences so far.”
“We recently engaged Manage to support our QHSE requirements at Presco, and from the outset the experience has been exceptional.
A key reason we chose to work with Manage was Martin Wouters. His knowledge, professionalism and genuine interest in understanding our business gave us confidence we were in good hands.
Within a few weeks the team had already delivered real value — providing practical insight, guidance and learnings that have made a tangible difference to how we manage QHSE across the business. When an incident arose requiring a full investigation and report, Manage worked closely alongside our team and the relevant suppliers, keeping everyone well informed throughout the process. They helped us identify clear actions and opportunities for improvement and ensured we were addressing the issue properly and thoroughly.
Beyond the technical support, having Manage alongside us has given our internal team greater confidence in managing QHSE matters day to day. The team at Manage has been approachable, knowledgeable and solution-focused throughout — it’s been a truly collaborative relationship which we look forward to continuing.”
“Martin Wouters and his team certainly have made an impact for the industry in his work to date ‘keeping ACC honest’ (so to speak). He knows the system and the right questions to ask to keep ACC on their toes and make them accountable.”
“Sue and the team at Manage Group have provided us expert advice on a number of occasions. Many thousands have been saved through using their service and following their expert advice. Sue’s methods are clear and concise, allowing us to stay hands off but well informed throughout the service.
Thank you Sue and Manage Group.”
“Working with Sam has been easy from day one. She understands our business, our people and provides practical Health & Safety solutions. She has supported us transitioning from Sitewise through to achieving Tōtika Performing two years in a row, integrating Safe365 into our operations and supporting with tender H&S requirements. She’s made our whole H&S journey straightforward and the results speak for themselves. It’s been mint!”
“We worked with Martin and the Manage Company Team on some challenging claims that had been incorrectly put against our Company’s ACC ratings.
Martin and the Manage Company teams’ professionalism, integrity and knowledge made the whole process of creating a case for ACC very easy. Their help and guidance on the recommended documentation to present to ACC was spot on and lead to us wining our cases. Our ACC levies were readjusted therefore saving our company a lot of unnecessary costs.
We highly recommend Martin and his team and will definitely work with them again.”
“Thanks again for the discussion and information you shared last week at the Bridge the Gap training. Very informative and helpful. And thank you for the noise monitoring spreadsheet.”
