Resources and tools to guide Person-Centred approaches


Individualised Funding is a payment mechanism for disability supports in New Zealand. It is based on a philosophy of person centred control, in which people should be empowered and enabled to live ordinary lives and have control and choice over that life. Individualised Funding can give a person more choice, portability, control and flexibility as they decide how, when and who provides their support. For more information see: http://www.incharge.org.nz

This is made possible through the Individualised Funding mechanism that enables Oliver to hire his own support and allocate his resources to create the lifestyle he wants.
