Have you ever felt like you wanted a more hands-on, personal way to manage disability support funding - one that puts you in the driver’s seat? That’s exactly what we here at Manawanui strive to help you do.
Managing support funding can feel overwhelming at times - timesheets, expenses, invoices, payslips, staff details… the admin list goes on. That’s where the Manawanui portal really shines.
“It’s quick, easy, and I know exactly where we’re at. I don’t have to chase paperwork or wonder if things have gone through. It’s all there, at a glance.”
The portal is designed to give you freedom, flexibility, and peace of mind. Here’s why so many people find it makes life easier:
1. Your Budget, at Your Fingertips
No more waiting for statements to arrive or ringing someone to find out what’s left in your budget. The portal shows your real-time balance so you can see exactly what you’ve spent and what you still have available.
That means no surprises, no overspending, and more confidence to plan your support the way you want.
2. Timesheets Made Simple
If you employ support staff, you’ll love how quick it is to process timesheets. Your workers can submit them online, you approve them with a click, and payroll takes care of the rest.
No messy paperwork, no delays - and your staff get paid on time, every time.
3. Easy Expense Claims
Need to claim back costs, like equipment or transport? With the portal, you can upload receipts, submit an expense, and track its progress until it’s paid.
Everything is stored in one secure place, so there’s no need to keep shoe boxes full of receipts or wonder where that invoice went.
4. Stay Organised with Staff & Invoices
The portal lets you keep all your employment records, payslips, and invoices in one easy-to-access spot. Whether it’s checking staff details or downloading a payslip, it’s all right there.
Less stress, less clutter, more control.
5. Access Anytime, Anywhere
Because it’s online and mobile-friendly, you can log in from your phone, tablet, or computer. Whether you’re at home, at work, or even on holiday, you’re always connected.
Perfect for busy whānau who share responsibilities and need quick, reliable access.
6. Safe & Secure
The portal is fully encrypted, keeping your private details and financial information safe. And if you ever forget your password or get locked out, help is just a click or call away.
7. Peace of Mind with Payroll
For those employing support workers, payroll through the portal is a huge benefit. Manawanui handles tax, KiwiSaver, ACC levies, and payslips, so you don’t have to worry about compliance.
You get the independence of managing your own staff without the stress of being buried in admin.
8. A Tool that Fits Around You
The best part? The portal isn’t rigid. It’s flexible, designed to fit around your life and your choices. Whether you want to take a DIY approach or just check balances now and then, it’s there to make things simpler, not harder.
It’s not just a tool — it’s the key to unlocking independence, choice, and a smoother journey with Individualised Funding.
