The ACC board has issued a statement unanimously backing chief executive Ralph Stewart, who resigned yesterday in the wake of the Bronwyn Pullar whistleblower scandal.
Board chairman John Judge, whose departure was also announced this week, said the board believed the vision and strategy Mr Stewart had planned for ACC,
and which had been signed off, were exciting and full of promise.
"Ralph's leadership has already started to change the culture at ACC and his plans for improving services to claimants and levy payers were in the process of being introduced.
"We must now ensure the focus of the organisation is on the agreed goals established by Ralph and the executive team.''
The board was committed to working with Mr Stewart over coming weeks to ensure a smooth and orderly transition at board level and as it begin the process to appoint a new chief executive.
