• Coach individuals to confidently self-manage their funding


• Support the development and review of personal outcome plans


• Provide clear guidance on purchasing rules and eligible claims under Whaikaha – Ministry of Disabled People


• Celebrate progress and milestones with the people you support


• Maintain accurate records that reflect the journey and outcomes achieved

• Confidence navigating systems and explaining complex information clearly
