Providing individuals with greater autonomy over how they spend their Whaikaha funding has the potential to empower individuals to drive their wellbeing outcomes. This report, therefore, uses Stats NZ’s Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI) to examine the wellbeing outcomes of those who receive individualised funding versus those who receive individualised funding (IF) versus those who are eligible for IF but receive only mainstream funding.Auckland University of Technology (AUT) encourages public access to AUT information and supports the legal use of copyright material in accordance with the Copyright Act 1994 (the Act) and the Privacy Act 1993.
