Funding Approval<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once your NDIS plan is approved, including SIL, the funding is allocated, allowing your chosen provider to begin implementing supports.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Finding a Provider<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You select a registered SIL provider, like Aspire\u202fHub, to help coordinate and deliver the supports outlined in your plan.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Support Proposal \/ Roster of Care<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If SIL is suitable, your provider helps you craft a Roster of Care (ROC). This document details the supports you\u2019ll receive, including what, when, and how they\u2019ll be delivered.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Support Delivery<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Support is provided in shared homes, group living, or tailored arrangements to suit individual needs.
