Guide for use:
Individualised funding should have all of the following characteristics:
- the funding dollars are provided from with program funds;
- funding dollars are allocated to an individual on the basis of needs assessment, funding application or similar process;
- these funding dollars may be directly under the control of the individual or their carer/advocate; or may be managed by or in consultation with a service provider to access a range of services for the individual; or may be given directly to the service provider who providers the service to the individual;
- the funding is transportable and able to move with the individual if they choose to use another service;
- the individual funding package is generally related to a policy ethos of fostering individual choice and autonomy.
