Our Services

Self-Managing Service

If you want to fully manage all your own support, our Self-Managing Service might be right for you. We get you started and assist you along the way, to the level you need. 

‌This typically includes coaching support with budgeting advice, a reimbursement of expenses services, monthly statements and access to our Customer Portal with great digital tools to help with budgeting and expenses.

Payroll Service

There are many responsibilities with being an employer. If you employ support workers, you can use Manawanui’s Payroll service to take care of your financial obligations. 

‌From payslips to payment of ACC levies, for a small fee, our digital services and expert team will help make the admin easy, regardless of how many support workers or care providers you employ.

Third Party Payments

A faster, easier way to ensure your services are paid for, Third Party Payments allows you to load invoices for approved Providers and then Manawanui will use your funding to pay them directly. 

‌This means you do not need to receive the reimbursement to your bank account and cuts out all the hassle involved with handling money.

Employer Protection Package

If you employ people, for peace of mind you may want to consider insurance for protection in the event of employment disputes involving personal grievance actions and civil actions relating to injuries or illness. Manawanui makes this easy with an option for an affordable insurance package which can be purchased using your Individualised Funding.
