This form is to be completed by the Approved Provider on behalf of all eligible services for the entirety of the 2021 program. You do not need to complete this form for each eligible service.
Approved Providers who have opted in to the program during 2020 will need to opt in for the program in 2021. Services that did not opt-in to the program in 2020 are able to opt in to the program in 2021.
Services are able to opt out of the program by completing the relevant opt out process through SmaryGrants. The opt out must apply to a full term, and should be completed prior to payment for that term being progressed. Providers cannot opt in or out for part of a term.
Before you begin, you may preview this form via the menu on the left-hand side.
Once you begin the form, you may save your progress and come back to it at any time.
Please refer to the program guidelines for additional information.
