I haven't got that those figures with me.
And just be interested to understand you know what the um uh the breakdowns were state to territory. Um if that's possible. Um in terms of supported independent living data. I'm trying to go as fast as I can. Sorry, it sounds like I'm we we can see.
What particular aspect of supporting living? Do you want to know how many people in supporting independent living? What other information?
Just recently.
Okay.
What's the specific data?
Okay, yes. So for 2526 financial year, how many participants are in SIL? And what's the total expenditure? 16.6. Yeah, okay. Um and the growth rate in SIL expenditure? If you give the trajectory over the last few years, that'll be great. Yep. Um participants um have SIL as part of their plan. So what's the so what's the average plan value for a participant? Um have those val those those plan values changed over time? A lot of that is the CPI of the Disp wage in increase, but so I suppose that is my question. Um, how much of that is just what you would expect in terms of an indexation increase and how much of it is um an increase in the actual plans themselves?
So about I think last year's CPI was about 3.5, and we've seen increase at 4%.
So you're not seeing an unusual increase. Okay. Um any any granular detail that you can give us in terms of you know annual expenditure, growth rate expenditure over the last five years would be um great. Um I understand that um mandatory registration for SEO providers commenced in October this year, is that correct?
