General Info

What is Individualised Funding?

Individualised funding is money paid by the Ministry of Health directly to someone assessed by a Needs Assessment and Service Coordination (NASC) Agency, as needing disability supports or services. This money can then be used to purchase the support required. Individualised funding can give a person more choice, portability, control and flexibility as they decide how, when, and who provides the supports.

What we do.

Manawanui InCharge is an organisation contracted by the Ministry of Health to provide individualised funding services.

We offer information and support with:

  • Deciding how to manage the payments
  • Keeping records e.g. timesheets, PAYE records, receipts, invoicing etc.
  • Drawing up Job Descriptions
  • Drawing up Employment Agreements
  • Staff recruitment
  • The requirements and responsibilities of being an employer
  • Rates of pay, PAYE, ACC
  • Insurance and Health and Safety requirements
  • Information on being a good employer
  • Emergency staffing plans
  • Information on staff induction and training.
