What is Individualised Funding?

Individualised Funding from Manawanui frees you to make your own decisions and live the lifestyle of your choice

Manawanui is the preferred Individualised Funding company for people in New Zealand who want a no fuss way to manage their own support services in an age of increasing bureaucracy and diminishing personal freedoms.

If you are a disabled person, parent or guardian of a disabled person, then you might want more choice about how, when and who provides your government funded support.

Individualised funding through Manawanui gives you the opportunity to:

• Design a Personal Support Plan that reflects you, your choices and lifestyle.
• Employ the support staff you want in your life – people who understand your culture, priorities, preferences and lifestyle choices.
• Set your own timetable to come and go as you want, so you can build stronger relationships and enjoy a better social life.
• Source ‘respite’ care that best benefits your family.
• Identify new sources of support.
• Take charge of who enters your life and call the shots when it comes to your priorities.

Develop management, budgeting and planning skills

Manawanui provides the tools and education to equip people (or their parents and guardians), to manage budgets, staff and ultimately, to take leading roles in the community.

Safety is a priority

Manawanui makes every effort to protect the interests of our clients – including assisting with vetting the potential staff they wish to employ – without compromising their right to self determination.
