MANAWANUI MEETS

These community meetings are perfect for people wishing to learn more about disability funding options and navigating the funding process.

We will explain what self-directed and individualised funding entails, how they differ from central funding, and the pros and cons of each.

We can also answer any questions you have on needs assessment, whether you qualify for funding, and any other considerations.

These meets are designed for:

  • People with disabilities and their families/whanau who are navigating fundings
  • People recently assessed by a NASC or DHB and now considering funding options
  • Anyone who supports people with disabilities such as community and church groups, schools and early learning centres
  • Anyone interested in how the health framework supports people with disabilities

The Meets are FREE and full of impartial information - and provide an opportunity to ask questions in a safe environment.

If there isn't a Manawanui Meets listed for your area, feel free to ring us with your queries on 0508 462 427- or email cec@manawanui.org.nz
