## What is Manawanui?

Manawanui is the pioneer and leading facilitator of Self-Directed Funding in New Zealand.

Self-directed funding means that you are in control of how, when and who delivers your support at home and in the community. This means you purchase the support you need, employ the people you want and manage your available budget. We can provide as little or as much support as you need.

Whether you need help with recruiting, budgeting and being an employer, want a hassle-free payroll system or are looking for a proven and trusted payroll partner, we have an option to suit you.

We provide a Management Service to all clients, and offer a range of add-on services that you can pick and choose from:

Payroll Service
Employer Protection & Support package
Training for Support Staff
Health & Safety resources
Other Services


Whether you’re government or privately funded, Manawanui can put together an individualised option for you.

You’re in charge so you tell us what you want and we’ll help you get it in place.

### 1/5 — Why does this app exist?

*2025-09-14, version 6.1.0*

Crashes on opening the timesheets tab. What’s the point?

### 1/5 — Three years still crashes when open timesheet view really …!??

*2024-10-11, version 6.0.0*

Disabled people need to use this app for putting in time sheets , for 3 years the app crashes and still does if you try to open timesheet view ? The developer of this app needs to be held accountable not just keep being paid for something that doesn’t work ,
As it’s three years of waiting for the problem to be fixed the developer should be fired and not paid any more , it’s disgusting using the disabled community to fund this app that has never worked , even when complaining to Manawanui for two years they also have just let you leave the app like this with no comment they should be accountable too but always say oh we let the developers know and still nothing ,

### 5/5 — Just submitted and approved

*2024-05-22, version 5.2.2*

I uploaded multiple screenshots to my claim and it got approved. All this time I never knew that there was an app to do this.

### 1/5 — Cannot interact with the timesheet tab

*2024-02-29, version 5.1.0*

This app used to be great. It’s pointless, now.

### 1/5 — Expenses tab crashes app

*2024-02-12, version 5.1.0*

The app crashes every time I try to access expenses. I’ve deleted and added the app again and again with no improvement. Without being able to use the Expense tab, the app is basically useless.

### 1/5 — The ‘Expenses’ tab does not work on my iPhone

*2024-01-11, version 5.1.0*

Every time I tapped on the ‘Expenses’ tab the app crashed and closed itself. No restarting, updating, or reinstalling the app solved this problem so far, I cannot use the app to submit any payments or expenses details at all.

### 1/5 — As time passes crashes increase

*2023-10-14, version 5.0.1*

iPhone 12, iOS 17: Push notifications don’t work anymore. Timesheets and Profile tabs crash the app in recent releases. No work around. 2 updates have not resolved the issue. (Should be P1 as timesheet submission is a key feature, disappointing)
