Individualised funding works best when you understand how to make it work to suit your needs. Let's take a look at the path towards self-directed funding.
Step 1: Have a needs assessment
A needs assesment may be done through your DHB or Ministry of Health NASC. Visit www.whaikaha.govt.nz for services near you.
Be prepared to talk about ALL the support you need – perhaps provide them with what a typical day and week looks like and how you need to be supported.
If you need help with this process, please contact our Customer Relations Advisor Kaitakawaenga. 0508 462 427
Step 2: Individualised Funding (IF) Host
Following your assessment and funding allocation, ask for a referral to an IF Host.
