FUNDING
FUNDING YOUR CARE AND SUPPORT
Understanding how care and support is funded can feel overwhelming, but you do not need to navigate it alone.
Healthvision works with government agencies, ACC, insurers and privately funded clients across New Zealand to help people access the care and support they need.
Whether you are recovering from an injury, living with a disability, managing a long-term health condition, or arranging support for an older family member, our team can help guide you through the available funding options and connect you with the right services.
Healthvision supports people accessing government funded, insurance funded and privately funded services. We also support clients who choose to combine funded and privately purchased services to create a care solution that best meets their needs and circumstances.
Funded or private, the same exceptional care.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
Your GP, hospital team, discharge coordinator, ACC case manager or local Needs Assessment and Service Coordination (NASC) service can help determine whether you may be eligible for funded support.
You can also contact Healthvision directly. Our team can help explain the funding pathways available and guide you through the process of accessing support.
The NZ NASC Association website also provides useful information about needs assessments and support services throughout New Zealand.
You can choose Healthvision as your preferred provider and we will work alongside you to make accessing care as simple as possible.

This is available to anyone who has had an injury in New Zealand (including visitors). Your doctor, emergency service or hospital will provide you with an ACC claim number at the time of your injury treatment.

· Integrated Home & Community Support Services (household support, personal care, serious injury support, wound management or rehabilitation)
· Specialist burn and wound care nursing, including free in-home visits, dressing changes
· Rehabilitation Programmes for Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Injury, adults and children and young people with other injuries

Whaikaha funding supports eligible New Zealand citizens and permanent residents under 65 years of age who have a physical, intellectual and/or sensory disability that:
· Is expected to continue for at least six months
· Reduces their ability to function independently
· Requires ongoing support
· Is not the result of an injury covered by ACC
Funding is managed through local Needs Assessment and Service Coordination (NASC) services.
Your NASC will work with you, your family, whānau, aiga or carers to identify your strengths, understand your support needs, determine eligibility and explore the services available to you.
Once approved, you can choose Healthvision as your preferred provider.
Disability support services for people with mental health needs or age-related needs are generally funded by Ministry of Health.
Individualised Funding (IF) is a form of Ministry of Health Disability Support funding that allows the person with a disability greater choice for how they can be supported. Funded supports typically include household supports, personal cares, respite services.
Under an IF arrangement, you have the option to employ and manage your own staff. Due to the legal complexities and strict rules regarding staff management (including Health and Safety, Pay Equity, Guaranteed Hours and Travel Payments), you may wish to ask Healthvision for support to find, manage and train your staff.
To access services, simply ask for Healthvision by name.

Health New Zealand manages funds for a range of in-home support services that help older people remain independent, safe and connected to their community.
Funding is generally available to people aged 65 years and over who have age-related health needs, chronic health conditions or other support requirements that impact daily living.
The goal of the funding is to support you to stay at home, to help you participate in your community and to enable you to maintain quality of life as a result.
Supports can include:
· Household assistance
· Personal care
· Meal preparation
· Medication support
· Safety and wellbeing monitoring
· Other daily living supports
Following an assessment by your local NASC service, you can choose Healthvision as your preferred provider.
Simply ask for Healthvision by name.

Healthvision works with a range of health insurers and self-insured organisations to deliver care and support in the home and community.

For those seeking personalised care and support at home, Healthvision offers flexible Private Care services designed around your individual needs and preferences.
Whether you require short-term assistance, ongoing support, specialist nursing, rehabilitation, dementia care or companionship, our private team will work closely with you and your family to develop a tailored care solution that supports your independence, wellbeing and quality of life.
With access to homecare, nursing and rehabilitation services through a single provider, we offer a coordinated and responsive approach that makes navigating care simpler and more seamless.
Private Care can also be used to compliment existing funded services. Many clients choose to purchase additional support when their funded allocation does not fully meet their needs, when they would like greater flexibility around the timing of services, or when they require support that falls outside their funded package. This may include additional personal care, companionship, overnight support, rehabilitation, nursing care, respite for family carers, or support following a hospital discharge.
With access to homecare, nursing and rehabilitation through one provider, we can deliver coordinated support that evolves with your needs, providing reassurance for both clients and their families.
Our team takes the time to understand your goals, preferences and circumstances, creating a personalised support plan that can adapt as your needs change.
Contact us to discuss how we can support you or your loved one.
