NZ Definitions
• Most common defining characteristics:
– Funding amounts are determined based on individual need
– A package of funding is allocated to an individual (not to
agencies or groups) and
– The individual decides how the funds are to be used
But the premise is the same:
Personal control over government funding for supports

The Purist view
• We take a hands off approach as much as possible
• We do not employ support workers or provide hands on
support or services
• The person is in control of all purchasing decisions within
the guidelines
• The person is in control of all recruitment and employment
decisions.
• Manawanui is the conduit and bureaucratic buffer, an
administration and consultative support
• Money sits with funder – not Manawanui

Whats in and Whats out?
• Hours of Support and associated overheads
• Personal Care and Household management
• Its out if a nondisabled person has to buy it
• Its out if it is funded elsewhere, even if its done
badly
• The purchase cannot breach government policy
