ACC Drown Prevention Strategy
On average, 130 people drown in New Zealand every year and about 650 are hospitalised as a result of water-related injuries.
The Drowning Prevention Strategy: Towards a Water Safe New Zealand 2005-2015 provides a framework to guide the efforts of the water safety sector towards a water safe New Zealand, free from drowning.
